- Following Hurricane Ivan changes were made to the Planning Law to help ensure that recovery efforts are not made more onerous by planning requirements. The amending legislation defined 'natural disaster' and provided for the relaxation of certain planning requirements, including notification requirements, which might otherwise delay the construction/recovery process in post-disaster recovery periods. Other post-disaster provisions to accelerate recovery included reduction of infrastructure fees by 50%, and the extension of the period of validity of approvals, from 12 months to 18 months from issue.
