Comment
Severing rural farms with up to three lots will have a terrible effect on agricultural lands in Ontario for centuries to come. Having more residential lots mixed directly with food and animal production will create tension between uses and often the agricultural use declines.
Severances also encourage urban sprawl, create costly forms of human settlement that are highly carbon intensive. There are many reasons why the provincial government stopped allowing rural severances in the 1970s.
Please do not go back to this regressive and destructive policy.
