Weston Consulting is the Planning consultant for the registered owner of the property located at
9104 Dublin Line in the Town of Halton Hills, Regional Municipality of Halton (herein referred to as
the ‘subject lands). 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 in size
by 2,000 acres moving about 7,400 acres in 15 different areas from the Greenbelt, which was
created to protect environmentally sensitive regions from development. We also understand the
1:1 offset must be achieved to ensure overall Greenbelt expansion. Therefore, we would like to
request that the subject lands be considered for removal from the Greenbelt Plan Area. Removal
of the subject lands could be suitable for residential development in the near term. The lands are
identified on the Protected Countryside Greenbelt Plan Land Use schedule. The Greenbelt
Protected Countryside designation permits commercial, industrial, and institutional uses serving
the rural and agricultural sectors, as well as recreation and tourism uses and others. Severances
are permitted within the Greenbelt Protected Countryside subject to conditions.
