Détails de la proposition

Updates

The notice was updated on January 21, 2016 to advise the public that there has been no change to the status of this proposal and it is still being considered. No additional opportunity for comment is being provided for at this time.

 

Description of instrument

The lands subject to the Niagara Escarpment Plan Amendment PD 180 09 are designated Escarpment Rural Area by the NEP.

The proponent seeks to amend the NEP to change the designation of their property to Mineral Resource Extraction Area and Escarpment Natural Area. The proponent has also submitted a Development Permit Application for the proposed quarry expansion. An amendment is required because the NEP requires such an application for any new licensed quarry producing more than 20,000 tonnes annually. The proposal to designate certain lands to Escarpment Natural Area is based on the field work recognizing the natural heritage features on the property.

The proponent has also applied to amend the Region of Halton Official Plan, the Town of Halton Hills Official Plan and zoning bylaw under the Planning Act, and has applied for a Class A licence under the Aggregate Resources Act.
