Past decisions don't predict future ones; not a planning opinion. Counts of the City's recorded decisions on minor variance applications that name garden or laneway suite. With fewer than 10 decisions we say “too few decisions to estimate”.

Typical time: median from the application date to the hearing at which the Committee decided (approved or refused). Withdrawn applications have no hearing.
Conditions
0 of 300 approvals within 1 km in the last 5 years are recorded as conditional. The City's open data records whether a decision had conditions, not what they were; common ones are building to the submitted plans and arborist or engineering requirements. Read the decision for the file.
