Proposal details
On November 6, 2024, the County of Essex adopted its new Official Plan by By-law 2024-45. The ministry is seeking feedback on the council adopted Official Plan and will review all comments before recommendations are provided to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing for a decision in accordance with Sections 17 and 26 of the Planning Act.
The new Official Plan proposes to replace the current County Official Plan, which came into effect in 2014. The purpose of the proposed plan is to establish goals, objectives and direction to guide growth and development to the 2051 planning horizon. The policies in the new plan have also been updated to reflect the direction in the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024.
If approved, the new Official Plan would apply across the County of Essex.
