The conservation authority…

The conservation authority must respect private property and more over cannot step outside the section 71 and 72 of the legislation act. If I have a wet land and all woods and waters have been granted, patented then they belong to the owner of that parcel of land without interest or encumbrance from the Conservation Authority. Should interest be expressed then the Conservation Authority must enter into agreement with the owner of that parcel of land. Until that happens any works provided that do not impact a neighbor then conservation should accept that they have no authority on that land. If Conservation wants a study, they asked for it, they can pay for. It is sad that people spend thousands of dollars only to find out Conservation rejects there application on some flimsy reason that has been dreamed up. Thirty eight years ago I build my house on my land which has a creek, no issues at all. Now for someone to do the same at this time Conservation prohibits any development within 120 meters of the creek. If it was allowed then, it should be allowed now. Conservation is driving up the price of land with all of their restrictions and regulations.
