Dear Minister Clark,

I am writing to express my strong opposition to proposed changes to the Provincial Policy Statement, 2022 (PPS) and the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan). These changes would accelerate urban sprawl and the ongoing loss of farmland and natural areas in Ontario.

I am a small farmer and the ability to sever a lot would help our family and also create additional places for my off farm siblings to get something that was theirs. These associations speak for large farmers that squeeze the little guy to sell their whole farm not just a lot.

There is simply no need for proposed policy changes which would:
- Eliminate mandatory intensification and greenfield density targets that were designed to rein in urban sprawl;

Allowing for 1 lot to be severed would be a great compromise from the 3 first suggested. Or allow for original homesteads to be severed off the main farm and allow ARUs on the retained farm parcel that way not needing to use up any more farm land but creating more housing.

Changes to heritage protection regulations proposed by the government are a complete scandal. We should be increasing heritage protection, not reducing it. Look at the UK and Europe, with far stronger heritage protection laws.

We own a farm and would like to sever land for our parents to live on with the current house and build a house for our family and children. We are trying to be able to take care of our parents as they age and avoid nursing homes. We all want to be able to live and work on the farm.

The Review of proposed policies adapted from A Place to Grow and Provincial Policy Statement through ERO 019-6813 suggests that municipalities will be required to plan for infrastructure needed to support development, such as stormwater management, water and wastewater infrastructure.

I realize That the only people your Government pampers to are the Developers. This is a VERY SAD statement , considering Ford tried to pass himself off "as for the little guy". It shows how untrustworthy he is after he promised not to develop.

I have been a rural resident in Elgin County all of my life and a farmer/landowner since 1993. I am now at retirement age and have aquired a wealth of knowledge that I have shared with all of my grown children.

Here are also a few comments on the benefits of lot creation on non-agricultural land within agricultural areas for residential use as it relates to farm and estate planning with regards to severing off a lot or the current main dwelling.
Read more
Further regarding estate planning and succession, becomes even more significant when considering non-farming children in the context of retiring on the farm. Here are some additional considerations to keep in mind:

With respect to the changes to the growth management policies the County has concerns that the removal of the comprehensive review process will lead to ad hoc and inconsistent approaches as to how urban expansions are approached across the Province.

All greenbelt areas should be off limits. If there is a shortage of housing and we are desperate to use protected land, shouldn't the immigration policy be revisited so issues can be dealt with slowly and not with such aggressive building. Affordability, shortages are all different issues.
I’m concerned that the proposed legislation will make it more difficult for communities to preserve their heritage buildings by eliminating or weakening existing protections like municipal heritage registries.
