Appeal allowed and consent to sever denied because proposed lot frontage did not conform to neighbourhood character.
The appellant municipality and an individual appellant appealed a Committee of Adjustment decision granting a consent to sever a residential property to create a new lot.
The municipality argued the severance did not conform to its Official Plan regarding neighbourhood character and lot fabric.
The Tribunal accepted the uncontradicted expert planning evidence that the proposed lot frontage was significantly narrower than the established neighbourhood lot fabric.
The Tribunal allowed the appeal and refused the provisional consent, finding it did not satisfy section 51(24)(c) of the Planning Act.
