The County of Middlesex Official Plan Amendment No. 4
COMBINED NOTICE OF PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE AND PUBLIC MEETING
Pursuant to Sections 17(16) and 26 of the Planning Act.
The County of Middlesex is updating its Official Plan to ensure that the land use planning policies are current, reflect Provincial policy, and reflect changing community needs for the next 30-years.
The Official Plan is a land use planning document that includes a vision, goals, and land use policy directions for the County. The Plan provides a policy framework for topics such as Resource Management, Growth Management, and the provision of Physical Services by dealing with issues of Provincial and County interest. The Official Plan recognizes the planning powers and authorities vested in local municipalities and does not set out detailed local policies. Within Middlesex County, each local municipality has a more detailed local official plan.
A Consultation Draft Official Plan Amendment and all supporting information are available on the County’s website www.middlesex.ca. This includes proposed changes in the format of a ‘track change’ document.
The Amendment would apply to the entire County and accordingly no key map is provided.
