A Surrey man who repeatedly violated numerous municipal bylaws, including those intended to protect a salmon-bearing stream, has been ordered to conduct extensive remediation work.
“He has cut down trees, paved and poured a concrete pad on part of the property, erected fences, deposited fill, and moved earth. He has enlarged the buildings, converting the shed into a living unit. Inside both buildings the work has included drywalling, electrical work and plumbing. He has deposited materials on the banks of Enver Creek, some of which has fallen into the creek,” Gomery summarized.
It was found by the judge Singh violated six municipal bylaws, many of them repeatedly. The evidence documents 20 attendances by city officials at the property between Aug. 4, 2021, and April 29, 2022, stated Gomery. “Mr. Singh's breaches of the bylaws have continued over many months, and they have been deliberate,” stated Gomery.
