2. how many consents have been sitting with the council for more than 6 months since it was first submitted, with a decision yet to be made 
3. what is the main cause of delays to processing consents 
4. how many staff work to process consents at the council
5. how much was spent in the last FY on processing consents (total cost including staffing)

I look forward to receiving your responses on Monday 18 September, or before."
