Dr. Fred Logue:

The first thing to say is that the greatest number of units is either vacant or underutilised. That number runs into hundreds of thousands. My understanding is that approximately 70,000 units have permission for which building could be commenced but has not been. That comes from the Housing Agency's data. Regarding planning, what happened is that because of personnel reductions, the board was unable to grant permission or to handle SHDs. Approximately 90 SHDs were stalled. That accounted for approximately 35,000 units. There are problems with many of them because the development plan has changed since the application went in.

On judicial review, from my reading of the evidence, they used my data. There are 98 judicial reviews and 46 are pending. They counted quashed decisions in the number of delayed units. I estimate that approximately 15,000 units are under judicial review.
