Ms Graham is right. Often, what is seen as a criticism of the planning system is related to the fact that we have an under-resourced system that is overloaded. Very complex decisions have to be made and these involve many interactions and tight timelines. In this context, you end up with mistakes that end up in judicial processes. Resourcing the planning system is the solution to a lot of it.
