A developer wants to appeal a decision regarding downsizing a residential subdivision. To whom do they apply?

  1. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

  2. The upper tier municipality.

  3. The Local Planning Appeal Tribunal.

  4. The Provincial Planning Council.

  5. The Ontario Land Tribunal.

  6. The State Courthouse.

The correct answer is: The Local Planning Appeal Tribunal.

In this case, the correct answer is C: The Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. The Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) is an independent tribunal that hears cases related to land use planning, development, and municipal governance in Ontario. If a developer wishes to appeal a decision regarding downsizing a residential subdivision, they would apply to the LPAT for a review of the decision. The LPAT has the authority to review and make decisions on land use planning matters, providing a forum for parties to present evidence and arguments regarding the decision in question. Option A, The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, does not handle appeals regarding specific land use planning decisions. Option B, The upper tier municipality, does not have the authority to handle appeals of this nature. Option D, The Provincial Planning Council, is not the correct entity for handling appeals; its role is more focused on broader planning strategies and policies. Option E, The Ontario Land Tribunal, is not the correct entity for handling appeals related to land use planning decisions. Option F, The State Courthouse, is not relevant in the context of Ontario real estate and land use planning matters.
