Appeal of zoning by-law amendment for reduced MDS and mobile home accessory dwelling dismissed.
The appellants appealed the Township of Norwich's approval of a zoning by-law amendment that permitted a reduced Minimum Distance Separation (MDS) for a new hog barn and recognized an existing mobile home as an accessory dwelling.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal, accepting expert planning evidence that the amendment was consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, conformed to the Official Plan, and appropriately supported agricultural uses in a prime agricultural area without adversely impacting natural heritage features or neighbouring properties.
