Even one-off infill projects have a substantial impact and imposition on neighbours, and there should be permitting processes to ensure the rights of homeowners are protected when developers cause such disruption for months or even longer. Liaisons would be responsible for things like ensuring consultation happens before permits, demolishing or construction begins; preparing compensation agreements that compel developers to pay when neighbours are unduly impacted; mediating disputes; advocating for homeowners.
