November 24, 2025: Awaiting more information

The Planner for Lanark Highlands township was scheduled to make a final recommendation at a Committee of the Whole meeting on November 25, with a final decision expected from Council on December 9.  Every indication has been that the Township has acted in good faith and followed the process, allowing the applicant more time for revisions and to submit additional information.  Despite this, Thomas Cavanagh Construction Ltd. filed an appeal on November 7 to the Ontario Land Tribunal on the grounds of non-decision by Lanark Highlands Township and Lanark County.  Because of this, the application will go directly to the Ontario Land Tribunal for a ruling, rather than allowing the municipality to make a decision.  Friends of Lanark Highlands is gathering information and developing a strategy to be a meaningful part of the process moving forward.
