Consent to sever granted for infill semi-detached dwelling on property containing a heritage dwelling.
The applicant appealed the City of Kitchener Committee of Adjustment's refusal of a consent application to sever a portion of a property to construct a new semi-detached dwelling.
The subject property contained a designated heritage dwelling and a detached garage proposed for demolition.
The Tribunal heard uncontroverted expert planning and heritage evidence that the proposed consent was consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conformed to the Growth Plan and local official plans, and had appropriate regard for the criteria in section 51(24) of the Planning Act.
The Tribunal allowed the appeal and granted provisional consent subject to conditions requested by the City.
