The appellant appealed the City of Brampton's refusal of Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications to permit the development of two multi-storey residential apartment buildings.

Prior to the hearing, the appellant submitted a revised proposal reducing the height of the north building from 14 to 10 storeys and making other design changes.

The Tribunal found that the revised proposal, subject to a 2.5-metre stepback on the north building, was consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conformed to the Growth Plan and local official plans, and represented good planning.

The Tribunal allowed the appeals in part on an interim basis, withholding its final order until the final form of the zoning by-law is submitted and the Region of Peel approves an updated functional servicing report.
