The Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) has approved the National Homes 2100 Brant Street development in Burlington.
According to a joint statement from Mayor Marianne Meed Ward and Ward 1 Councillor Kelvin Galbraith, the proposal was approved after the local neighbourhood group Vision 2100 Brant withdrew as an opposing party to the hearing, as did two residents with participant status at the hearing.
A phasing schedule for construction must be provided identifying proposed house construction—the start dates and occupation dates—tentative grading, sodding and tree-planting schedules in accordance with the City’s grading and sodding policy and schedule.
Additionally, at some point in the future, National Homes will need to obtain site plan approval for the development of the townhouse component of the plan.

“We would also like to thank the resident group Vision 2100 for their hard work and cooperation in achieving an improved development plan. They spent countless hours and finances over the past few years, working with city staff, council and the developer to make changes to the development that we are sure future residents of this new neighbourhood will appreciate,” Meed Ward and Galbraith said in the statement.
“In accepting the revised proposal, council considered a number of factors, including public input, the improvements made that addressed some of the concerns raised, the planning justification provided by staff, and advice from legal counsel,” they added.
