Appeals allowed in part to permit residential subdivision; uncontested expert evidence confirmed appropriate noise mitigation.
The applicant appealed the Township's refusal of a Zoning By-law Amendment and the Region's failure to make a decision on a Draft Plan of Subdivision to permit a 36-unit residential development.
A self-represented party raised concerns regarding rail shunting noise and the proposed Class 4 noise designation, but provided no expert evidence.
The Tribunal accepted the uncontested expert planning and noise evidence that the proposal is consistent with provincial policies, conforms to the official plans, and represents good planning.
The appeals were allowed in part, approving the zoning amendment and draft plan subject to conditions.
