Consent to create three non-farm residential lots in a prime agricultural area denied.
The applicants sought consent to sever and merge properties, along with an unopened municipal road allowance, to create three non-farm residential lots in a prime agricultural area.
The County approved the applications despite staff recommending denial.
The appellant appealed the approval to the Ontario Land Tribunal.
The Tribunal found that the proposed creation of non-farm residential lots in an agricultural area conflicted with the Provincial Policy Statement and the applicable Official Plans, which protect agricultural lands.
The Tribunal refused to authorize the provisional consent.
