How can a municipality fully understand the impact of a proposed built form without adequate supporting documents such as shadow studies, urban design analyses, and wind studies?

How come you came up with the idea of eliminating urban design, shadow study and...? How come you thought removing these make the process faster? Did you even think about the impacts of not having urban design oversight for new developments?
