Ah—perfect.
Some of the consultation and visits that the committee has undertaken have come down to local issues around settlements, housing and what communities want by way of amenities. I was taken by the map that Andy Wightman submitted showing the areas where there is big land ownership and those where there is lesser land ownership.
I think that local place plans are important, as they will drive the community forward, and they give landowners a way to respond to the local community’s needs. I am trying to understand why I have got that wrong. Have I got that wrong?
