Well, I'd just like to thank Andrew R.T. Davies for his comments. I understand where he's coming from, but the regulations and the fee structure set out therein do seek very much to strike a balance between the need to get applications to come forward and the need for local authorities to be able to cover their costs. And as said in my introductory remarks, this is a 20 per cent increase, but it is the first since 2015, and it doesn't take the local authority to full cost recovery. So, you know, it is a compromise situation between that, and it doesn't increase all fees either.

So, the fees currently prescribed for pre-application services remain the same, for example, and that's largely based on the fact that those fees are based on a more recently established structure and evidence base and are therefore more appropriate. So, we have carefully considered the points that Andrew R.T. Davies makes, and we do think that this is the best structure for the recovery from COVID-19 and for ongoing resource in the planning departments of local authorities in Wales. Diolch.
