Past decisions don't predict future ones; not a planning opinion. Counts of the City's recorded decisions on minor variance applications that name parking. With fewer than 10 decisions we say “too few decisions to estimate”.
| Where and when | Decisions | Approved (all) | Approved | With conditions | Refused | Withdrawn | Typical time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ward 11, last 3 years | 62 | 87% | 87% | 0% | 11% | 2% | 11 weeks |
| Within 1 km, last 3 years | 18 | 72% | 72% | 0% | 22% | 6% | 9 weeks |
| Ward 11, last 5 years | 111 | 86% | 86% | 0% | 13% | 1% | 14 weeks |
| Within 1 km, last 5 years | 30 | 77% | 77% | 0% | 20% | 3% | 12 weeks |
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 Withdrawn applications have no hearing.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.
