Dalton and Joanne Potter - Approval for a consent (subject to conditions) in an area where there is no official plan in place

The application proposes to sever one new lot of approximately 1.0 hectare in size with approximately 20m of frontage on Henwood Concession 2, for resource-based recreational use, and create a new easement to provide access.

An approximately 20m x 325m easement will be created over the private road on the retained land to provide access to the proposed severed parcel.

The proposed severed lands are currently the site of a 45 m2 cabin (2007), woodshed and composting outhouse, along with a metal storage container. The site is currently serviced by on-site sewage services. 

The proposed retained lot would be approximately 128.5 hectares with approximately 750 metres of frontage on Henwood Concession 2. This lot contains no existing development and will continue to be used for agriculture.

The application will be reviewed for consistency with the environmental policies of the Provincial Policy Statement (e.g. natural heritage, water quality protection). Public comments received or concerns identified will be considered in the review to determine whether the application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and whether it would have any significant impact on the environment.

If you have any questions, or would like to submit comments, please do so either online (below), by letter or phone to the contact person listed. Please submit your comment during the 30-day public consultation period and reference the Environmental Registry Number 019-8064.

Your personal information may be used in the decision-making process on this proposal and it may be used to contact you if clarification of your comment is required. It may be shared (along with your comment) with other Ontario ministries for use in the decision-making process. Questions about this collection should be directed to the contact listed.

If a person or public body that wishes to file an appeal in respect of the proposed consent does not submit written comments to the Minister before the Minister gives or refuses to give a provisional consent (e.g., during the public consultation period), the Ontario Land Tribunal may dismiss the appeal. Appeal of a decision of the Minister in respect of this consent may be made by a specified person or any public body not later than 20 days after notice of the decision is given. If you wish to be notified of the decision of the Minister in respect of the proposed consent, you must make a written request to the Minister at the contact address.

As required under the Planning Act, a public notice was published Jan 5th, 2024, in the New Liskeard Timiskaming Speaker Weekender.
