Appeal allowed and heritage designation by-law repealed on consent after expert evidence showed criteria unmet.
The appellant appealed a municipal by-law designating a farmhouse under the Ontario Heritage Act.
Following a structural assessment revealing significant deterioration, the parties reached a settlement.
Based on expert architectural evidence that the property met only one of the required criteria for designation, the Tribunal allowed the appeal and repealed the designating by-law, noting the parties' agreement to salvage and relocate historic materials.
