The Appellants brought a motion seeking a declaration that their appeal of a Zoning By-law Amendment passed by the Township of Seguin was valid.
The Appellants argued they did not receive notice of the public meeting and therefore could not make submissions, requesting the Tribunal use its discretion to allow the appeal.
The Tribunal dismissed the motion, finding that subsection 34(19) of the Planning Act strictly limits appeal rights to those who made oral or written submissions before the by-law was passed, and the Tribunal has no discretion to override this statutory requirement.
