The applicant appealed under s. 41(12) of the Planning Act regarding a site plan application for two industrial buildings.

The parties reached a settlement and agreed upon a revised site plan.

Based on uncontested expert planning evidence that the revised site plan represents good planning and conforms to applicable policies, the Tribunal allowed the appeal in part and approved the revised site plan.

The applicant appealed the Town of Caledon's failure to make a decision on Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments to permit six industrial warehouse buildings.

The parties reached a settlement on Revised Amendments that expand the settlement boundary, rezone the lands to Prestige Industrial with holding provisions, and protect environmental and proposed Highway 413 lands.

Based on uncontested expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found the Revised Amendments consistent with provincial policy and good planning, and allowed the appeals in part to approve the modifications.

The appellant, a self-represented area resident, appealed the City's approval of an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment permitting a 14-storey apartment building.

The Tribunal found the notice of appeal deficient under the Planning Act for failing to identify inconsistencies with provincial or municipal policies.

After hearing the applicant's expert planning evidence, which supported the development as modest intensification, and finding the appellant's evidence lacked planning grounds, the Tribunal dismissed the appeals both on statutory non-compliance and on their merits.
