40 housing/planning applications really? This is quite surprising. I hope someone can tell me what they are. If this isn't true what does that mean? or does it mean that every zoning variance is treated as a planning application instead of going to the board of variance..... something is fishy here and it aint fish.
What I see is a lot of infill that doesn't require a lot of work. But, Mr Rodgers is correct in that what used to take 6 months to process, adjudicate, and decide, now takes two years, but that doesn't mean it gets approved. But it does mean the process gets more onerous and government has more control of everything.......and you have less.....of everything.
And while we are on it, Affordable Housing is anything but affordable for the taxpayers. It has cost this community a fortune.
8:38 not only that, the process now requires two or three people to be hired to deal with things..... Their way of dealing with it is to get a consultant to tell them what to tell the council to tell the taxpayers. And still, things don't get done, don't get approved, and are sometimes just plain wrong. Lots of coffee and buns.

This seems like a step in the right direction, IMHO.
