Appeal for consent and minor variances dismissed due to flood hazards and inadequate emergency access.
The applicant appealed the City of Brampton Committee of Adjustment's decision to deny consent and minor variance applications to create two additional residential lots.
The City opposed the applications, citing concerns over flood hazards, inadequate emergency vehicle access, and the lack of an Environmental Impact Study for development within a natural heritage system.
The Tribunal accepted the uncontradicted expert evidence of the City's witnesses and found that the proposed consent did not meet the criteria under section 51(24) of the Planning Act, and the variances did not satisfy the four tests under section 45(1).
The appeal was dismissed.
