Applications to the Committee of Adjustment have doubled, the study found, with no new resources added. But the city says it’s on track to meet its housing goals

Lengthy waits for City of Toronto approvals is slowing down efforts to add much-needed housing supply, such as converting a single-family home into a duplex, says the building industry.

From 2015 to 2022, the number of building applications heading to the City of Toronto’s Committee of Adjustment have doubled, resulting in lengthy delays, according to Wednesday’s study commissioned from the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) and conducted by Altus Group Economic Consulting.
