The appellants appealed the Niagara Escarpment Commission's conditional approval of a development permit for a large dwelling and accessory structures.

Following case management conferences, the parties reached an agreement to modify the conditions of approval, specifically regarding the septic bed design and fill placement.

The Ontario Land Tribunal, functioning as the Niagara Escarpment Hearings Office, found the agreed-upon conditions to be correct and allowed the appeals in part to implement the revised conditions.

The appellant appealed the conditional approval of a development permit application to convert a barn into a commercial rental facility for weddings.

Following several adjournments to allow the applicant to pursue an amendment to the Niagara Escarpment Plan, the applicant decided not to pursue the amendment.

The Hearing Panel held a pre-hearing conference call and issued an order setting the procedural schedule and dates for the hearing of the appeal.
