Appeal of conservation authority's refusal to grant development permit for vacant lot in floodplain dismissed.
The appellants appealed a decision of the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority denying an application for development on a vacant lot.
The Tribunal found that the property was located within a floodplain and subject to the Conservation Authorities Act and RVCA policies.
The appellants failed to establish that the proposed development complied with the criteria for the use of fill, safe ingress/egress, and the prohibition against new development on vacant lots of record in a floodplain.
The appeal was dismissed.
