Appeals of development permit withdrawn; Commission's approval automatically confirmed and hearing cancelled.

The appellants appealed the Niagara Escarpment Commission's conditional approval of a development permit for a horse stable.

During a pre-hearing conference, the appellants requested an adjournment to gather more information, which the Hearing Officers denied due to the lack of settlement prospects and ample time remaining before the hearing.

Subsequently, the appellants withdrew their appeals.

Pursuant to Rule 205 of the Environmental Review Tribunal, the withdrawal automatically confirmed the Commission's decision, and the hearing was cancelled.
