Consent to sever prime agricultural land to separate existing kennel from dwelling denied.
The applicant appealed the refusal of a consent application to sever a property in a prime agricultural area to create a separate lot for an existing kennel, leaving the existing dwelling on the retained lot.
The Tribunal found that the proposed lot creation was not for agricultural uses but solely to facilitate the transfer of the kennel independent of the residential dwelling.
The Tribunal held that the application would fragment prime agricultural lands, was not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and did not conform to the Growth Plan, Greenbelt Plan, Parkway Belt West Plan, or the applicable official plans.
The appeal was dismissed.
