MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

HEADED ITEM NO. 24

HEADED ITEM:

Recommended deletion to PA200 which refers to a proposed new SLO as follows:

Commons Little, Aylmer Road - Nursing Home

“To provide for the development of a high quality nursing home facility at Commons Little, Aylmer Road, Newcastle.”

REPORT:

As previously advised to Members it is considered that the proposed nursing home, which would necessitate the construction of buildings within a designated Green Belt located in the area between Newcastle village and industrial lands to the east, would contravene the greenbelt zoning objective for the area, and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

Having regard to the above and to the submissions received, and to the environmental assessment which noted that the proposed SLO may result in negative environmental impacts on car based emissions and car dependency, it is considered that the proposed amendment should be omitted from the Draft Development Plan.

Manager’s Recommendation

 

It is recommended that the proposed amendment PA200 be omitted from the Draft Development Plan.
