What is sufficient for a subdivision to be approved for use of the words "for the purpose of establishing that the approval of the subdivision is against the community's interest"?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Hlynsky v. West Vancouver (Approving Officer), 1987 CanLII 2456 (BC SC):

Assuming, therefore, that this choice of language is sufficient, I must ask one final question, namely, whether the approval of the subdivision is against the community's interest. No reasons have been provided. As Mackoff J. noted in Anderson v. Vancouver, supra, it is not sufficient for the approving officer to simply make such a bald statement and "While he need not set out elaborate reasons he, nonetheless, must give some valid reason for holding that in the circumstances of any given application it is against the public interest to permit a departure from the established pattern".
