A municipality gives provisional consent to sever a waterfront lot. The neighbouring cottage owner, who made written submissions opposing it, wants to appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal. Under s. 53(19) of the Planning Act, what is her position?

Correct Answer

D) She has no appeal right, because a neighbour is not among those listed

Section 53(19) allows an appeal of a consent decision or its conditions only by the applicant, the Minister, a specified person or a public body, within 20 days after notice of the decision is given. A neighbouring cottage owner is none of these; specified persons are listed entities such as utilities, railways and pipeline companies, so she has no appeal right.

Answer Options
A
She may appeal within 20 days, because she made written submissions opposing it
B
She may appeal within 30 days, as any landowner within 120 metres may do
C
She may appeal any time before the deed is registered
D
She has no appeal right, because a neighbour is not among those listed
