Appeal allowed and provisional consent granted for residential infill severance on a heritage property.
The appellant appealed the Committee of Adjustment's decision denying a consent application to sever a property to create a new residential lot.
The subject property contained a dwelling designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.
Based on uncontested expert planning and heritage evidence, the Tribunal found that the proposed severance met the criteria under section 51(24) of the Planning Act, was consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and conformed to the City's Official Plan as appropriate infill development that would not negatively impact heritage attributes.
The appeal was allowed and provisional consent was granted.
