The Right to Appeal
If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of the County of Peterborough to the Ontario Land Tribunal but does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, if one is held, or make written submissions to the County of Peterborough in respect of the proposed plan of subdivision before the approval authority gives or refuses to give approval to the plans, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the County of Peterborough to the Ontario Land Tribunal.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the County of Peterborough in respect of the proposed plan of subdivision before the approval authority gives or refuses to give approval to the draft plan of subdivision, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.

Important Legislation Changes - Public Meeting and Appeal Rights
Please note that Bill 23, the More Homes Built Faster Act, made changes to Section 51(20) of the Planning Act which no longer requires Municipalities to hold public meetings for draft plans of subdivision/condominium.

Further, Bill 108, the More Homes, More Choices Act, made changes to Section 51(39) of the Planning Act which no longer permits third party appeals to decisions for draft plans of subdivision/condominium. Instead, appeals are restricted to "specified persons" which includes the province, the Municipality, the applicant, and utility companies.
