The changes imposed by the proposed Provincial Planning Statement is a very significant shift in where development is directed and how communities will grow.

My thoughts on the proposal are:
- do not remove any land from the Greenbelt, in fact, add more
- do not build Hwy 413 or the Bradford bypass, in fact, do something to make the 407 better utilized instead

Farming and residential do not mix.
Residential should be close to where they work((the corridor).
The perfect place for development is the green belt.

I oppose legislation changes that would permit further fragmentation of agricultural land in Ontario. Prime farm land is a precious resource, and when residential use expands further and further into this resource, it threatens our food security and sustainability in the future.

One of the frightening things that is happening very quickly is the landgrab of agricultural land by investors. Farmers are becoming landless serfs. Greg __ in the U.S. is a popular speaker and influencer who shows how a grazing operation can work effectively with absentee landowners.

Our kids who want to take over their family farms do not have the same opportunity we had. We were able to build a house on the farm and raise our families. They must live miles away to rent small spaces to raise their families, when perfectly good pieces of land sit undeveloped.

I believe that large lots that are in-between two houses with the proper frontage and utilities pose less of an encroachment on agricultural zoned areas (farmland). This in my opinion would make the most sense for increasing housing availability.

I represent a 4 generation of farmers in Norfolk county. My entire family supports lot severances in rural areas. Further more we feel that land that has no agricultural benefits should be permitted to be split into 1/2 acre lots.

I think this proposal is a good one in principal, it needs some more details and some clearer definitions but the intent is sound. Most of the people that I have spoken to on this issue either have not read the details or have only heard the hyperbole created by special interest groups.
Thank you.
I am representing a 5 generation family farm in Norfolk County. Myself and my entire family support lot severances and feel that it is up to the land owner to decide whether or not they make use of the lots that they choose to sever off of their farm.

Mr Ford, please allow the servering of 3 lots from farmlands! This will allow our children to continue to live in our community while helping and supporting our farm. Please make this happen!
