Yes. Okay. And, actually, there's a parallel point around the SDPs as well, isn't there, in that respect? I know it was a concern that decisions are being taken further away, at the same time as suggesting that greater community engagement was required. James.

I'm not sure whether silence is good or bad, actually, in this instance. We'll soon find out.

Okay. Thank you. Another element of the new post-planning Act environment, of course, is developments of national significance and the new regime around that. How do you say or characterise how that is bedding in? Any particular views on that? DNSs? No? Go…

Yes, of course. Does anybody else want to come in on this? Neil.

Okay. So, then we’re into the realms of resourcing the CJCs and the creation of those et cetera.

Just to probe that a bit further, then, the team that you’re talking of on a regional basis—would that be a consequence of the corporate joint committee, or would that—? It would. It wouldn’t be running parallel, or one lead authority and, ‘Let’s sort the…

Okay. So, where are we with the SDPs, then? That's the question, really. Or what does our crystal ball suggest? When are we going to see these land? Anyone want to hazard a guess? Vicky, yes; you could probably speak from experience as to where you are.

Yes. I'm aware that Janet wants to come in on the national development framework as well, I think, don't you, Janet?

Okay, thank you, Neil. Jenny wants to come in on this as well, and then, maybe we can lead into your questioning as well, once we've had to response to the point you wish to make.

Okay. We'll come back to that. Neil, do you want to pick up on Vicky's comments?

Neil wants to come in as well, I think. Our universities have a role to play, I'm sure. Janet, sorry, do you want to respond to that first?
