Appeals allowed for zoning by-law amendment and consents to sever to create 10 residential lots.
The applicant appealed the township's failure to make a decision on a zoning by-law amendment and nine consent to sever applications to create 10 residential lots.
The applicant and the township reached a settlement, but neighboring property owners opposed the development, arguing it did not conform to provincial and local planning policies regarding natural heritage and lot creation outside settlement areas.
The Tribunal accepted the applicant's expert evidence that the development appropriately protected ecological systems, conformed to the applicable official plans, and represented good land use planning.
The Tribunal allowed the appeals, approving the zoning by-law amendment and granting provisional consents subject to conditions.
