Planning decisions on beachfront and agricultural land have always taken too long but the system has been thrown into confusion following a legal decision by Madam Justice Cornelius. As a result of the judgment all of these cases are no longer being dealt with by the Chief Town Planner but are being passed to the Prime Minister’s Office to be processed. As the Prime Minister’s Office does not to our knowledge employ qualified Town Planners these applications are not currently being dealt with. A solution needs to be found quickly or the system will grind to a halt.
