Rights of Appeal
A decision on a Minor Variance or Consent (or any conditions of the consent) can be appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) but only if the objector is:
- The applicant; or
- A person who provided oral or written submissions at a Public Hearing and/or asked, in writing, to receive notice of the decision.
You must file your appeal within 20 days of the date of making/mailing a decision with the Secretary-Treasurer. Written reasons supporting your objection and payment of the OLT fee for an appeal must be included. An appeal to the OLT is a serious matter.
