AND TAKE NOTICE that public comments were received and reviewed as part of the decision.

AND TAKE NOTICE any prescribed person(s) or public bodies may, within twenty days after the date of Notice of Passage of the By-law, appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal in respect of the by-law by filing a notice of appeal with the Clerk of Haldimand County, not later than April 14, 2025. 

The appeal should be sent to the attention of the Clerk (see below) and it must:

2. Set out the reasons for the request for the appeal;

3. Be accompanied by the fee prescribed under the Ontario Land Tribunal in the amount of $1,100.00 (cheque or money order) payable to the Minister of Finance, Province of Ontario; and

Only individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal a zoning by-law to the Ontario Land Tribunal. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group. 

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to Haldimand County before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.
