Some interesting points have been made and some big questions raised on infrastructure-led development. That was an interesting perspective.

I call Annie Wells, who joins us online.

Thank you for those responses. I will move to Willie Coffey, who has been patiently waiting.

Thank you for that. So that we know where we are going, I note that we have perhaps four more questions. I will pass over to Miles Briggs.

We go to the panel online now.

Thank you for raising that issue. We welcome the written evidence that you plan to send to us.

Robbie Calvert pointed out the focus on the climate and nature crises and their role in the revised NPF4. In practical terms, what does the requirement for decision makers to give “significant weight” to the global climate and nature crises mean for development management and development planning across Scotland?

Right. Does the plan also need to sit in the context of the LDP to some extent or totally?

I will bring in Paul McLennan with additional questions, then Annie Wells, when she returns.

We have come to the end of our questions. We have a few more minutes if there is anything that the witnesses think we have not covered that is important for us to hear.

You say that half of developments should have shared community ownership. Can you say a bit more about what that would be?

We have Clare Symonds, Ailsa Raeburn and Bruce Wilson on the line. They are quick on the buzzer.
