The Ontario Land Tribunal held a first Case Management Conference regarding an appeal by the applicant for the Town of Caledon's failure to make a decision on a zoning by-law amendment application within the prescribed time.

The application seeks to permit an industrial and warehousing facility.

The Tribunal granted conditional party status to the Region of Peel to monitor servicing issues, and participant status to a nearby resident.

A three-day video hearing was scheduled and a Procedural Order was approved.

The appellants appealed a Committee of Adjustment decision refusing their application to sever a property into two estate residential lots.

The appellants argued the property should be recognized as a rural settlement area, while the municipality maintained the lands were in a prime agricultural area and subject to Greenbelt Plan protections.

The Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding insufficient evidence that the property was within a defined settlement area and concluding the proposed severance was not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and did not conform to the Greenbelt Act or the municipal official plan.
