Provincial
Planning Initiatives
The
Provincial Government has enacted or released for consultation a number of
policy initiatives that will affect the South Albion-Bolton Community Plan
Study.
Provincial Policy
Statement, 2005
The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) sets out the Provincial interests in land
use planning and development and provides policy direction on matters of
provincial interest. According to the latest version of the PPS that came into
effect on March 1, 2005, planning
decisions must now “be consistent with” the new PPS.
The new PPS and related background information can be obtained from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing.
Greenbelt Plan
The provincial
Greenbelt Plan was put in place through the Greenbelt
Act that was passed by the Ontario legislature on February 24, 2005. The
Greenbelt Plan was deemed to be in effect as of December 16, 2004.
The
Greenbelt Plan defines a protected area that includes the areas within the
Niagara Escarpment Plan, the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and a new
Protected Countryside area. The Greenbelt Plan contains policies for land use
and environmental protection within the Protected Countryside, while the
policies of the Niagara Escarpment Plan and the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation
Plan will continue to apply in those areas.
The Greenbelt Plan and mapping of the Greenbelt can be obtained from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing.
Places to Grow: Draft
Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe
The Provincial
Government issued a Draft Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe called
“Places to Grow: Better Choices. Brighter Future” in February 2005. The Draft
Growth Plan indicates the anticipated growth in the Greater Golden Horseshoe
and directs where and how this growth is to occur. The Draft Growth Plan and
other related materials can be obtained from the Ministry of Public Infrastructure Renewal.
The Town
of Caledon has submitted comments to the Province regarding the February 2005 and
the November 2005 versions of the Draft Growth Plan and on an earlier version released
in the summer of 2004:
