The appellants appealed the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority's refusal to grant permission to construct a driveway and single detached dwelling on a vacant lot located in the flood plain of the Rideau River.
The Tribunal found that the subject property constitutes hazardous lands and a floodway, and that the appellants failed to demonstrate the proposed development would have no negative impacts on flood control.
The Tribunal concluded that the proposed development did not comply with Ontario Regulation 174/06, was not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and was not consistent with the Conservation Authority's policies.
The appeal was dismissed.
