Proposal details

Application number 54-C-224406 would sever one new lot in the unincorporated township of Tudhope, District of Timiskaming described as part of Lot 10, Concession 1 (PIN 61301-0035). The proposed lot would be approximately 9.5 hectares in size, with 350 metres of frontage on Highway 65. Access from Highway 65 would be from an easement over the new lot proposed via Application 54-C-224505 (easement application forthcoming). The lot is proposed to be used for resource based-recreational uses.

This proposal is related to applications 54-C-224307 and 54-C-224505 (also under review) which also propose to sever one new lot each, from the same subject property. The remainder of the subject lands, approximately 7.9 hectares in size would be retained.

The application will be reviewed for consistency with the environmental policies of the Provincial Policy Statement (e.g. natural heritage, water quality protection). Public comments received or concerns identified will be considered in the review to determine whether the application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and whether it would have any significant impact on the environment.

If you have any questions, or would like to submit comments, please do so either online (below), by letter or phone to the contact person listed. Please submit your comment during the 30-day public consultation period and reference the Environmental Registry Number 019-6124.

Your personal information may be used in the decision-making process on this proposal and it may be used to contact you if clarification of your comment is required. It may be shared (along with your comment) with other Ontario ministries for use in the decision-making process. Questions about this collection should be directed to the contact listed.

If a person or public body that wishes to file an appeal in respect of the proposed consent does not submit written comments to the Minister before the Minister gives or refuses to give a provisional consent (e.g., during the public consultation period), the Ontario Land Tribunal may dismiss the appeal. Appeal of a decision of the Minister in respect of this consent may be made by any person or public body not later than 20 days after notice of the decision is given. If you wish to be notified of the decision of the Minister in respect of the proposed consent, you must make a written request to the Minister at the contact address.

As required under the Planning Act, a public notice will be published in the New Liskeard Temiskaming Speaker Weekender on October 28, 2022.
