Again, how long does the process take for a project? I know all projects differ. It has been suggested that the Department never refuses an application. Is that the sense for people here? I mean that they have never had their application refused. Are applications sent back to local authorities for clarification? Do the witnesses have an estimate of any projects that have been delayed due to waiting for a clarification?
