Express Building Permits for Social Housing: Speed Yes, But Who Oversees Quality?

Answer

Can fast permits help with Mallorca’s housing shortage if infrastructure is already in place?

Yes, that is where the idea makes the most sense. If roads, utilities, schools and basic services already exist, a faster permit process can help bring homes to market sooner. In Mallorca, the benefit is smaller if those supporting services still need to be built or expanded.
