I have a follow up-question to that. From what I see in my local area, the larger, more complex applications almost always get additional information requests from the planning authority. Maybe sometimes there is an outright refusal or something, but nearly always there are additional information requests on the larger, more complex planning applications. There is a lot more work in them for the planning authority and they require a lot more time. Given that that additional information process is frequently used for those larger, more complex applications, why is there a need for this as well?
