Weston Consulting is the…

Weston Consulting is the authorized planning consultant for the registered owner of the property located at 3185 King Road in the Township of King (herein referred to as the ‘subject property’). We have been monitoring the proposed mapping changes to the Greenbelt Plan (Ontario Regulation 59/05) that would have the effect of swapping lands in the Greenbelt. We understand that the government is now proposing to add 9,400 acres to the Greenbelt elsewhere, including a portion of the Paris Galt Moraine and 13 Urban River Valleys in the Greater Golden Horseshoe. When factoring in the land that would be removed, the Greenbelt would grow by 2,000 acres moving about 7,400 acres in 15 different areas from the Greenbelt, which was created to protect the environmentally sensitive area from development. We also understand the 1:1 offset must be achieved to ensure overall Greenbelt expansion. Therefore, we would like to request that our lands be considered for removal from the Greenbelt Plan Area thus making it suitable for residential development in the near term.
