Marc Aurel Joseph McLean and Chantal Lachapelle - New - Approval for a consent (subject to conditions) in an area where there is no official plan in place

The purpose of this application is to sever one new lot for a continued residential use. 

The lot currently contains a barn, garage, dwelling (house) and shed. The house is serviced by existing private services and sits on a lot approximately 1.62 hectares in area with approximately 256 metres of frontage on Beauchamp-Henwood Township Road. Surrounding land uses appear to be agricultural in all directions. 

Agricultural use would continue on the proposed retained lot. The lot would be approximately 61 hectares in area with approximately 544 meters of frontage on Beauchamp-Henwood Township Road. 

The subject lands are located approximately 3.2 km north of Highway 65 and approximately 9.3 km southeast of the community of Earlton.

No new construction or site alteration is proposed as a result of this application. 

The application will be reviewed for consistency with the environmental policies of the Provincial Planning 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 Planning 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 026-0619.

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.
