-----over the next 20 years people are not tempted to jump into their car because the bus stop has been put far away because of the layout of the development that was granted.

I am getting towards the end now. Amendment No. 793 refers to large-scale residential development. It is on page 306 of the Bill. It is along the same lines. It is about setting out matters related to the holding of an LRD meeting. It requires the person to furnish the planning authority with information, drawings, plans or documents. Section 169(2)(b)(iii)(II) states: “the provision of public and private open spaces, landscaping, play facilities, pedestrian permeability, vehicular access and parking provision, where relevant”. I note we do not have "car" parking there. That is better. I am wondering about including “access to public transport routes” after “pedestrian permeability”. It would include pedestrian permeability and access to public transport routes. I presume a large-scale residential development would have to be on public transport route or have access to public transport. It is similar to the last amendment I spoke on. If the Minister of State is going to look at it in relation to the conditions, could we look at it in relation to an LRD application as well?
