Development appeals may be filed by anyone who is affected by a decision of the Development Authority in relation to a development proposal or a stop order issued by the Development Authority. Appeals may not be filed for a permitted use unless the Development Authority relaxed, varied or misinterpreted the Land Use Bylaw.
Anyone wishing to appeal must do so by filing a Notice of Appeal form with the Peace Regional Subdivision and Appeal Board (SDAB).
The appeal must contain the following information:
legal description and municipal location, if applicable, of the land proposed to be developed or subdivided;
the reason for the appeal including the issues in the decision or the conditions imposed in the approval that are the subject of the appeal;
applications must be accompanied by the applicable fee.
if someone is acting on behalf of the appellant, then a letter of authorization must also be submitted.
