I'm unmuted now, hopefully. Thank you very much, acting Deputy Presiding Officer. I would like to thank all Members very much for their contributions to this afternoon's debate. The range of views expressed today is a reflection of just how wide-ranging this plan is and the breadth of challenges it will help us to meet over the next 20 years. 

In overall terms, to address contributions, 'Future Wales' will help us achieve decarboniastion and address the twinned emergencies in our climate and biodiversity. 'Future Wales' will also drive up standards of development and help to deliver placemaking. With it, this generates healthy, active communities and the conditions for a diverse vibrant economy of local businesses. And indeed, 'Future Wales' addresses national priorities such as affordable housing and renewable energy, and empowers regions and local authorities to decide the scale of development appropriate to their area and the detailed locations for development.

Coming back to a few of the very specific comments made by Members this evening, decarbonising energy will be a key part of delivering our climate goals. We must decarbonise in a way that improves well-being in Wales through a managed transition supported by investment and innovation.

The national development framework only relates to onshore developments. The climate change crisis means action onshore and offshore, and 'Future Wales' and the marine plan together address energy and reflect the energy hierarchy as set out in 'Planning Policy Wales'. Both plans recognise that there are a number of opportunities to generate renewable energy across a variety of technologies, both onshore and offshore, which will be maximised to help the targets.

It's worth saying at this point, I think, Deputy Presiding Officer, that of course this is part of a suite of documents. As many Members did say in their commentary, it is very essential to read this together with a range of other plans. This is not a one-size-fits-all plan. A number of Members have made contributions about what it should contain, and I haven't time to go through them all, but many of them are of course contained in other sister documents to this particular document. 

I also just want to emphasise that the national development framework recognises the importance of smaller towns, especially in north Wales, allowing for local and regional plans to add that detail. I do not believe local communities want central Government to plan their futures. It is right and proper that local and distinctive rural issues are best dealt with at the local level to reflect the different characteristics of places across Wales. We do not want cloned towns and areas; we want our local communities to have a say in what their local communities look like. This is not about central government saying how that should work. 

In terms of the grid, which several people raised, we are working with the UK Government, Ofgem, distribution network operators and National Grid, who are responsible for the grid across the UK, to ensure they deliver an energy system that enables the low-carbon transition in Wales. I recognise the comments many Members have made, which is why we're working with them. 

I terms of delaying the plan some more, the important things such as climate change were important before the pandemic and, if anything, they're more important now. So, we don't want to see any further delay in this. We are having this debate at the start of the 60-day period. I am very much looking forward to continuing to debate it through that period. 

Many Members also mentioned digital communication. So, just to point out, there is a new policy supporting digital communication in the plan. We also have a 'town centre first' policy for the public sector, in response to points a number of other colleagues made, and we are working specifically with marine plan colleagues, especially on the offshore/onshore interface. But, the national development framework does not deal with offshore; that's for the marine plan. We also, of course, have very specific policies on areas such as Holyhead and other important ports. 

Acting Deputy Presiding Officer, I don't have time to go through all of the individual contributions that Members made, but the next step for this plan is now in the hands of this Senedd. It has 60 days, up to 26 November, to set out its views on the changes I have proposed and on the emerging final plan. I understand the climate change committee certainly intends to set time aside to gather evidence and I'd be very happy to go into more detail on the proposed changes with them over the next couple of months. 

Once I have received the Senedd's views, I intend to make quick progress towards finalising the plan. I sense that there is a real expectation and anticipation amongst developers, local authorities and communities for this all-important top tier of the development plan system to be completed and put into practice as soon as possible. So, my intention is to publish 'Future Wales: the national plan' in February. At that point, I will also lay out how I have taken the Senedd's views on board. I genuinely hope that this early debate will help Members to take the opportunity to read the emerging plan and the changes we've made since last summer to strengthen it. A 20-year plan is a big opportunity to shape our country and to make good on our promises of a fairer, greener, healthier and more prosperous country. Diolch.
