Motion to confirm validity of first demolition permit denied; procedural order issued for merits hearing.
The appellant brought a motion claiming that its first demolition permit application remained valid because the municipality failed to make a decision within the statutory timelines under the Ontario Heritage Act.
The Tribunal denied the motion, finding that the municipality had the authority to change its by-law to refuse the demolition permit.
The Tribunal also issued a procedural order and issues list for the upcoming merits hearing regarding the denial of the second demolition permit application.
