Motion to dismiss appeal granted as notice of appeal disclosed no apparent land use planning grounds.
The applicant brought a motion to dismiss the appellant's appeal of Official Plan Amendment 13 without a hearing.
The appellant's grounds of appeal primarily focused on a lapsed 2016 minor variance and apprehensions about noise, pollution, and traffic, without providing any supporting expert evidence.
The Tribunal found that the notice of appeal did not disclose any apparent land use planning grounds upon which the appeal could be granted and had no reasonable prospect of success.
The motion was allowed and the appeal was dismissed.
