The Development Approvals Review Working Group held its first meeting on December 7th and will continue to meet in the first six months of 2019.
A recurring theme in our posts is the need for faster permit approval processes for housing developments – especially for much needed purpose-built rental properties like Willoughby Walk. Our industry continuously lobbies municipal and provincial governments for increased capacity for permit processing. The backlog adds thousands of dollars to the cost to build, which is already astronomical in B.C. These costs are passed on to homebuyers and renters, adding fuel to the dumpster fire that is the housing affordability crisis.
