The appellant appealed the Township's refusal to extend a temporary use by-law permitting the outdoor storage of rain barrels and composters on a portion of the subject property, as well as the enactment of an interim control by-law suspending further land use planning changes.

The Tribunal allowed the appeal regarding the temporary use by-law in part, extending the use for three years and removing a condition prohibiting additional barrels, finding that the use was temporary, did not create detrimental effects, and represented good planning during the ongoing policy review.

The Tribunal dismissed the appeal regarding the interim control by-law, finding it was lawfully enacted for a legitimate planning purpose to allow the Township to review its land use policies.
