Establishes timelines for Tiverton's new construction, including one year for final approval, two years for building permits, and temporary unit.

The bill sets specific timelines for new construction projects in Tiverton. It mandates that the period between preliminary and final approval for a development project cannot exceed one year. Additionally, the period between final approval and the issuance of a building permit is limited to two years. If a building permit is not requested within these two years, the application becomes void, requiring the process to restart.
