Appeal of conservation authority's refusal to grant development permission near wetlands dismissed.
The appellant appealed the refusal of the Quinte Conservation Authority to grant permission for development to construct a dwelling and install a holding tank on a property surrounded by wetlands and Lake Ontario.
The Tribunal found that the proposed development did not comply with Ontario Regulation 319/09, as the appellant failed to demonstrate that there would be no negative impact on the control of flooding, erosion, pollution, or the conservation of lands.
The Tribunal also found that the proposed development was not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020, and did not have regard for the Conservation Authority's Policy Manual.
The appeal was dismissed.
