Minor variances for a detached accessory building with a residential unit approved on consent.
The applicants appealed the Township's refusal of a minor variance application to relocate a previously approved detached accessory building containing an accessory residential dwelling unit.
Prior to the hearing, the parties reached a settlement proposal approved by Township Council.
Based on uncontroverted expert planning and environmental evidence, the Tribunal found the variances met the four tests under section 45(1) of the Planning Act, were consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and had regard for matters of provincial interest.
The appeal was allowed and the variances were approved subject to conditions.
