Tribunal denies request for phased hearing and issues procedural order for single merit hearing.
The Tribunal held a Case Management Conference regarding appeals for a Niagara Escarpment Plan amendment and a development permit to convert a former convent into a private school.
A party requested a phased hearing to adjudicate the plan amendment before the development permit.
The Tribunal denied the request, finding that the issues and expert evidence were intricately linked, and ordered a single merit hearing.
A procedural order was issued to govern the proceedings.
