Answer

As Elsa says, it's when the 'to' is a preposition - belonging to the previous phrase - rather than part of the infinitive.  Here are some examples of phrases ending in 'to' which need the following verb to be in the gerund (+ ing) form:

The most common ones are:

look forward to  ( "I'm looking forward to seeing you")
be used to    ("He's not used to driving on the left")

There are also these ones:

confess to
admit to
adjust to

be accustomed to
be devoted to 
be addicted to
be committed to
be dedicated to

Answer

This is only possible when "to" functions as a preposition, not as part of the infinitive "TO DO."
In your examples, "look forward to" and "an approach to" TO is a preosition and therefore followed by either an object or a gerund.
Hope that helps!

Answer

Let me think for a while. 
I am on my way to doing research into the usage of "to doing."
I admitted to doing this bad thing.
I hope my admission won't lead me to doing more harm than good.
