Appeal of development permit for Cheltenham Badlands parking lot dismissed; proposed use complies with Escarpment Plan.
The appellant appealed the Niagara Escarpment Commission's conditional approval of a development permit to construct a 33-car parking lot for visitors to the Cheltenham Badlands and the Bruce Trail.

The Hearing Officers found that the parking lot is a permitted use as a Bruce Trail access point and satisfies all relevant Development Criteria under the Niagara Escarpment Plan.
The appeal was dismissed and the Commission's decision to issue the development permit was confirmed.

Appeal dismissed; proposal to import 1.8 million cubic metres of fill to quarry deemed an unpermitted commercial fill operation.
The appellant appealed the Niagara Escarpment Commission's refusal to issue a development permit that would allow the importation of 1.8 million cubic metres of fill to rehabilitate a quarry.
The appellant argued the proposal was a permitted use under the Niagara Escarpment Plan, such as a mineral extraction operation or forest management.
The Hearing Officers found that the existing rehabilitation plan was substantially complete and that the proposal amounted to a commercial fill operation, which is not a permitted use.
The appeal was dismissed.
