Consent for lot enlargement and severance denied as property constituted a single lot.
The applicant appealed a non-decision regarding a consent application for a lot enlargement, arguing that her property consisted of two separate existing lots of record that predated subdivision control.
In the alternative, she sought a consent to sever the property into two lots.
The Tribunal found that the property was a single lot for the purposes of the Planning Act, as an attempted severance in 1970 was abortive and failed to create legally conveyable lots.
The Tribunal also dismissed the alternative severance application, finding that the creation of a new residential lot in the Agricultural Resource Policy Area on a private road did not conform to the upper-tier municipality's Official Plan.
