Description of the Proposal:

Severance Consent Application B16/2026 proposes to create one (1) new parcel approximately 20.23 hectares (50 acres) in size.

The subject lands are zoned Agriculture (A), Environmental Protection (EP), and Environmental Sensitive (ES). The property is designated Prime Agricultural Lands and Greenlands System within the Trent Hills Official Plan.
