The applicant appealed the conditions imposed by the Committee of Adjustment on a consent application to sever a surplus farm dwelling.

The parties reached a settlement modifying the conditions, including requirements for a new septic system and a zoning by-law amendment for the severed lands.

The Tribunal accepted uncontroverted expert evidence that the modified conditions are consistent with provincial policy, conform to the official plans, and represent good planning.

The appeal was allowed and the conditions were amended in accordance with the settlement.

The appellant appealed the approval of an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment that would permit the development of a 46-unit, six-storey affordable housing apartment building on lands owned by a church.

The appellant raised concerns regarding building height, overdevelopment, and parking.

The Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the proposed development represents appropriate residential intensification, conforms to the applicable Official Plans, and is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement.

The appeal was allowed in part solely to correct a typographical error in the Zoning By-law Amendment regarding the maximum permitted building height.
