Arthur Martin & Daniel Skaarup - New - Approval for a consent (subject to conditions) in an area where there is no official plan in place

The application for consent was draft approved on October 19, 2026 subject to conditions.

The application was reviewed for consistency with the environmental policies of the Provincial Planning Statement. No public comments were received.

Limited specific concerns related to fish or wildlife habitat, species at risk, protected areas or public health and safety were identified in relation to this application during early consultation. These concerns were addressed through conditions relating to water and sewage servicing and MDS requirments. Given the small-scale of development and mitigation measures there will be no negative impacts to greenspace, natural heritage and water quality and quantity, nor public health and safety.

Conditions include: consent agreement restricting new residential uses or buildings, MDS requirement, landfill capacity confirmation, sewage hauler capacity confirmation, consent letter from local health unit, acknowledgement signed by the transferor and transferees if the transaction is between family members, that they have read the standard information provided, including information relating to wells, sewage disposal facilities, waste disposal facilities, SCA, and MDS requirements.

The applicant has two years to satisfy conditions of draft approval, otherwise approval will lapse. The approval can be appealed using the procedure outlined below. Notice to appeal the decision to the Ontario Land Tribunal must be filed with the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing on or before November 8, 2026.
