Appeals against infill subdivision dismissed; modernized upscale executive housing proposal represents good land use planning.
The appellants appealed the City of Brampton's adoption of an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment that permitted a 360-unit residential subdivision on a 19.99-hectare infill site.
The appellants, representing residents of surrounding upscale executive housing neighborhoods, argued the proposed inclusion of townhouses and smaller lots was incompatible with the area's character and would cause traffic congestion.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeals, accepting the expert planning, urban design, and traffic evidence of the City and the developer.
The Tribunal found that the proposal represented a modernized form of executive housing that complied with provincial intensification policies while remaining compatible with the existing communities.
