Planning Inquiry
A Planning Inquiry is a formal process where authorities review and assess proposals for land use or development projects. It involves gathering information, considering public concerns, and evaluating how the plan fits within local regulations and community needs. The goal is to ensure that development is suitable, sustainable, and benefits the community while respecting environmental and cultural considerations. This process typically includes hearings or submissions from stakeholders and experts, culminating in an official decision on whether the project should proceed, be modified, or denied.
