Interim Order for aggregate licence rescinded due to applicant's seven-year failure to negotiate haul route.
The Ontario Land Tribunal initiated a motion to determine whether to rescind a 2015 Interim Order that approved a zoning by-law amendment and directed the issuance of an aggregate licence, subject to the negotiation of a haul route agreement.
After nearly seven years of delays, changes in counsel, and inactivity by the applicant, the municipalities requested that the matter be dismissed.
The Tribunal found that the applicant had been given ample opportunities and time extensions but failed to resolve the haul route condition.
Consequently, the Tribunal rescinded the Interim Order and directed the Minister to refuse the licence.
