Minister says it's to help with complexity of applications
Three new officers have been recruited to the planning team.
The Environment, Food and Agriculture minister told the House of Keys they are mainly on a contractual basis at the moment.
Currently there are 454 applications being dealt with by the team.
Clare Barber says it's not necessarily the volume that's causing problems:
Changes to religious education 'about religious literacy, not promoting any particular religion'
New bill would remove the need for religious education to be "wholly or mainly Christian"
