Mayor Mike Hurley says most of the city's laneway housing applications are stalled in the BC Hydro design review stage.

Laneway homes have been legal in Burnaby since September, but Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley is concerned BC Hydro is hampering their development.

Hurley told the Burnaby NOW there’s now about 130 total applications for laneway homes in the pipeline, but about 80 per cent of them are waiting for BC Hydro’s design reviews. BC Hydro spokesperson Kevin Aquino said the average completion time for connections requiring design work is 4.5 months, including the time required for customers to submit all pre-requisite project information needed to start the design.
