In particular, municipalities have been found to show a high degree of flexibility in granting land use authorisations. The decisions of municipal authorities that are incompatible with state planning may find several roots. The economic returns for municipalities and their mayors of delivering land use authorisations may also be identified as a reason for municipalities to grant permits that are undesirable from a state territorial planning perspective. A final political aspect may also be envisaged; that of the mayor who, after three non-renewable years in office, would take advantage of his authority to facilitate projects that may put him in a better position in a political party or group.
