The United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (SDG) does not support the proposed changes to the Agricultural lot creation policies in the PPS due to concerns regarding scattered development, loss of farmland, and impact on agricultural operations.

I would like to express my strong opposition to the proposed replacement of the Provincial Policy Statement and the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe with the new Provincial Planning Statement.

What good is allowing new farmers to build a house on the farms they’re taking over if they can’t sever the land and own it? How are they supposed to do that? We don’t need a lot of land to build a house, even half an acre, and out of our 500 acre farm that has a very insignificant impact.

Hello,
We have a plot of land in New Tecumseth that had a dwelling and barn once upon a time. The land is serviced. There is still a well. It cannot be farmed. In short, it is the perfect place for me and my family to live and work on the family farm we’re taking over.

Please consider allowing 10 acre parcels to subdivide land even if farmers say no. This would allow for more opportunities for housing for residents in our community.
Yesterday, while driving through what used to be the countryside, north of Brampton, we must have seen a dozen land development signs sitting in fields of corn and naturalized meadows. One sign for “towns and singles” even had the audacity to advertise the development as “Countryside living “.

The proposal to change the wording of the PPS with regard to cultural heritage resources is unnecessary and will have a detrimental affect on cultural heritage resource conservation efforts. We will lose significant resources as a direct result of these changes.

Key points:
The OFAH is encouraged by the retention of many key environmental policies from within the PPS, including the Natural Heritage Features section. There are, however, several proposed changes that we feel require addressing.

This proposal is despicable. Too bad Ford is in the back pocket of his developer cronies. His government is a disgrace and will be removed next election. Shame on any of you who enable his autocratic, anti-democratic agenda. He is out to destroy history in this province.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment. I am a local historian in Wawa, Avocational Archaeologist, and certified member of the Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals.

I agree that three severances is too many but I don't think you should keep the rules at 0. Let's meet half way and say 1 severance per farm. And keep that severance in the family.

I live north of Uxbridge. We want to be able to subdivide our 10 acres into 3 parcels so we can build and sell off a house to help pay down the mortgage. This should be allowed since there is house poverty in the north too.
