Pls be aware that if you rent an apt with electricity included , the property probably has no assessment number because it is illegal.

This would be a reasonable request but the biggest elephant in the room not being addressed is the massive inefficiency of the department of planning. There are waiting periods for development extending 6 months or longer even for minor revisions. Wouldn’t it be reasonable to do a review of the departments operating procedures and poor work ethic first before imposing more legislation to slow them down even further?

How about starting with encroachment by certain businesses around Devonshire Marsh.

The ineptitude of Planning on processing even a simple straight forward project is legendary. It is no wonder people jump the gun & start work or simply don’t bother with Planning. Time is money. The rest of us don’t move at Government speed.

Absolutely ..now my neighbours house is within 6′ feet of my boundry and well there are so MANY building code breaches and such…dug down ten feet on boundry driveway refused to put wall on his own property four feet above grade…escavated over boundry….built over boundry…we are private estate …he is not….trenched and place pvc pipe …altered an install on private estate ( that is why it is private ).

And a file two inches thick with proper complaints.

So….I suggest you contact me…and fix this massive encroachment.

At present I have contmpt for a planning department that has let me and mine down so far….I take what this artical says with a…show me attitude…planning the file has befor and after pictures and many dated complaints.
And you clowns already have two surveys one was a dispute survey….you lot know where the boundry is!
So get off your high horse and fix our situation (tip top).

A lot of construction workers sitting on their hands waiting for job sites to get planning approval. Come on planning department these guys need work now, not in 18 months time. We got bills to pay.

Hey Walter – how much you gonna fine your own government for all of the illegal work that was done along Coney Island Road and Baileys Bay Cricket Club? What a bunch of jokers you all are! In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.

To the P.L.P. government: Check the many people who built houses under the notorious and vicious oba government. Some of those built structures, must come down…built illegally!!

This is funny. Yet you, government, allow an SDO for tuckers point to build all over paynters hill, harrington sound road and all over the golf course. No planning permisison for anything, just build away on the pristine land which will end up being sold to foreigners or just lay vacant, just like the other condos. but de locals, oh you gonna get fined or have to wait years to get permission. makes a lota sense.

Perhaps another layer would be to require construction companies to hold a license which would be in jeopardy if they are found to be doing illegal work. Hey pop that could be another revenue stream for ya (wink wink)

If Planning permission did not take as long as it does and it can take months upon months upon months, then people might not start projects without permission.

The Planning Department has been extremely slow for decades, they all need to be fired and new efficient staff need to be hired.

Minister Roban if you can the Planning Department working properly, you will be a hero.

So ordinary people have to accept the rule of law.

In modern democracies the government has to accept the rule of law as well. We’ll see if that happens in Bermuda.
