I am concerned that the following item will have an unintended consequence: municipalities may choose not to extend their municipal water and sewage services or choose not to extend capacity of their systems to meet the needs of future development. They may also take a more conservative approach to determining reserve capacity, being one of the only remaining measures of control over developments that are unsuited to or unsuitable for a community.

"Supersede local official plans and zoning to automatically apply province-wide to any parcel of land where residential uses are permitted in settlement areas with full municipal water and sewage services (excepting for legal non-conforming uses such as existing houses on hazard lands). "
