INTRODUCTION
1This is the first Case Management Conference (“CMC”) for the above-noted matter. Mattamy (Halton Hills) Limited (“Appellant”) has filed appeals against the Town of Halton Hills’ (“Town”) failure to make a decision within the statutory time frames for the Appellant’s applications to permit the development of 1022 detached and 1380 multiple attached dwellings in respect of the property at 10114 and 10242 Eighth Line. The appeals were filed pursuant to ss. 34(11) and 51(34) of the Planning Act (“Act”).
2The Affidavit of Service for Notice on file was marked as Exhibit A.
PARTY STATUS REQUESTS
3There were three Party status requests received. The Tribunal granted Party status to Halton District School Board, Halton Catholic District School Board, and Halton Region Conservation Authority on consent of the Parties.
