Dr. Fred Logue:

I might make a brief comment on that. There are a lot of nuances in the planning procedure that are quite impactful on the public, such as time limits and access to information, which have not really been taken into account. For example, if you make an appeal to the board and you do not pay the right fee, it is automatically invalidated. There is no opportunity to fix that, which is a very minor technicality that could easily be fixed. There are many such issues that the public will be aware of and will want fixed and it would be a great benefit if some of those issues with the current planning code could be quantified, documented and taken into account. They are easy wins for a new planning code.
