Comment
I am concerned about the proposed policy https://ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-6813. Two issues are of primary concern for me.
1. There is no discussion of the preservation of corridors for the movement and support of wildlife. The proposal supports division of land that would fragment areas particularly in southern Ontario. This report https://environmentaldefence.ca/report/ontarios-greenbelt-under-threat-… from Environmental Defence clearly documents the threats particularly in the current green belt.
2. Loss of prime agricultural land will be tremendous with this proposal. How will we support our population without arable land? Urban sprawl rampant across Ontario particularly in the southern part of the province. There is no requirement for developers to utilize land that is currently available for building homes and to slow our urban sprawl.
