For those budding developers out there who want to know what the DA process can throw up.
I've just started legal action to get a Deemed Refusal from council for an application I have submitted. The council for reasons known only to them have failed to approve or refuse my application leaving me with no other option but legal recourse.
A Deemed Refusal is what I can claim because the council have not respond to my application within the legislated time frames as detailed under IPA (Integrated Planning Act 1997). I will appeal this refusal and get it into a court to have a judge decide.
Once I get this into court (3-4 weeks) a judge will demand council to give me a response, either an approval or a refusal and reasons why within another 2 - 4 weeks. At this point I book court time to have the application determined by a Planning & Environment judge if any issues are raised.
And mean while everyones wondering how to fix, and who's to blame for the affordability problem?
