Appeal of zoning by-law amendment dismissed; uncontroverted expert evidence established conformity with planning policies.
The appellants appealed the Township's approval of a Zoning By-law Amendment that provided relief from minimum lot area, frontage, and water setback requirements to permit a single detached dwelling on an existing lot of record.
The appellants raised numerous issues regarding environmental protection, slope stability, and conformity with provincial and municipal policies but provided no expert evidence.
The Tribunal accepted the uncontroverted expert planning and environmental risk management evidence from the Township's witnesses, finding that the proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the County Official Plan, and represents good land use planning.
The appeal was dismissed.
