The applicant successfully appealed the Town's refusal of a zoning by-law amendment to permit a bed and breakfast.
Following the appeal, the applicant brought a motion for costs of $18,978.09, alleging the Town's conduct during the municipal planning process was unreasonable and designed to obstruct the application.
The Tribunal dismissed the motion, holding that its jurisdiction to award costs under Rule 23 is limited to conduct occurring during the Tribunal proceeding itself, not the preceding municipal planning process.
