It is indescribable that there are more than 700 developments with no planning permission. We are talking five years to resolve that. A good friend of mine put up a shed for a motorbike about which someone complained because he had no planning permission for the base of it. He had to take the shed down. It did not even take two weeks. I cannot understand why it is going to take so long or why this has not been done before. There will be repercussions for the service users.
