Thank you very much, Llyr, for addressing the issues around the planning system. We are very eager as a Government to see how we can use the planning system in order to safeguard historic buildings. 'Planning Policy Wales' already sets out how music and arts venues can be supported as part of regeneration, and we are aware also that it's important that the class use order does allow some changes to use without there being a need for a planning application, but this is limited to heritage, arts and cultural activity, and I'm eager to ensure that we can retain that.
