The proposed PPS 2023 specifically permits multi-lot residential development on rural lands where appropriate sewage and water servicing can be provided and removes the justification test for when infrastructure is proposed to be expanded for rural development, providing greater flexibility for private servicing. Municipalities must consider “locally appropriate” rural characteristics when directing development in rural settlement areas. How do we maintain a “rural character” when we will end up with lots that have 3 houses on them – not to mention the toll that could take on our water and lands.

Once again we find that the documents are created in and for Southern Ontario where there is less and less room for development, and that pours over into rural northern areas that do not have the means to address these changes, or to accommodate them.
