If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at the public meeting or make written submissions before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision to the Appeal Tribunal. The person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.
