Appeal allowed and Zoning By-law Amendment approved to permit residential intensification through a converted dwelling.
The appellants appealed the Municipality's refusal of a Zoning By-law Amendment application to convert an existing single detached dwelling into a four-unit dwelling and a detached garage into a single dwelling unit.
The Tribunal allowed the appeal, finding that the proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the Chatham-Kent Official Plan, and represents good planning.
The Tribunal accepted the uncontroverted expert planning and engineering evidence that the proposal represents an efficient use of land, contributes to a mix of housing options, and maintains the existing character of the neighbourhood without adverse impacts.
