I suppose one could argue the case the other way round and say that these matters will always be subject to judicial review and that, although on the one hand the noble Baroness can argue that a person might well go to court, on the other hand it is also a safeguard. It appears to me, as I have said already, that this provision will be used very sparingly and that the appropriate plan authority will be very aware of the potential for judicial review, for instance, which is why one can have some confidence in the way in which it has been drafted.
I suspect that the problem with relative weight is the same as the problem of having a list; it may be very difficult to define. However, I understand the importance of this, and at the very minimum I will write to the noble Baroness on the kind of guidance that we will produce on this matter, as it might inform her decision whether to take this further.
