Appeal allowed and retroactive heritage permit granted for painted masonry based on settlement.
The appellants appealed the Town of Collingwood's refusal to grant a retroactive heritage permit for painting the masonry of their home, located in a Heritage Conservation District.
The parties reached a settlement after expert evidence confirmed that removing the paint would cause extensive damage to the masonry.
The Tribunal allowed the appeal and directed the Town to issue the permit, noting that the settlement ensures the integrity of the heritage structure.
