Appeal for consent to sever dismissed as the property is within a protected agricultural area.
The appellants appealed a Committee of Adjustment decision refusing their application to sever a property into two estate residential lots.
The appellants argued the property should be recognized as a rural settlement area, while the municipality maintained the lands were in a prime agricultural area and subject to Greenbelt Plan protections.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding insufficient evidence that the property was within a defined settlement area and concluding the proposed severance was not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and did not conform to the Greenbelt Act or the municipal official plan.
