I will sweep up and pick up a question that was skipped over earlier. Do the policies that are set out in the draft NPF4 make provision for meaningful public engagement in the plan-making and development management processes? If not, what changes would you like to be made?

Those were useful responses. We will need to do an evidence session on derelict high streets so that we can dig down into the issue. There are some good examples.
We have a few more minutes before we end. Perhaps we are done but, if there are any other points that any of the witnesses wants to raise about NPF4 that have not been highlighted in the questions that we have asked, please put an R in the chat function.
Caroline Brown has put an R in the chat. Please tell us some more.

You are on, Ailsa—oh, there is no audio yet. It is not you; broadcasting handles everything.

I thank all of you. It is good to hear your perspectives on MHATLR, which we are trying to get our heads around.

Before I bring in Ailsa Macfarlane I will add to my questions. We have a couple of national policies that focus on climate and nature restoration. I would like to get a sense of whether you believe that the goals for climate change and emission reductions in the draft framework are achievable and consistent with other policies that are in it. I ask Ailsa Macfarlane to respond to my first question about whether the planning system is set up to deliver the outcomes and to give her thoughts on the climate emission reductions piece.

Does anybody want to answer that question about monitoring and reviewing?

As part of our approach to NPF4, we will now consider the evidence that we have just heard in private.

We have lots of questions, so I will go to Christina Gaiger and then Barbara Cummins, who has not spoken yet. If we have time, I will try to bring Robbie Calvert back in. However, I would like to move on.

Thank you for that response and for giving us the term “tactical urbanism”; that is brilliant.
