Community Plan Area 5/ Special Policy Area #8 Secondary Plan
The lands north of the proposed Bradford By-pass and South of Line 9 are known as Community Plan Area #5 or Special Policy Area#8, and represent the last Community Plan Area identified in the Town’s 2002 Official Plan for development in the Bradford Urban Area. The lands are generally located along Line 9, north of the Highway 400-404 Link and west of Artesian Industrial Parkway.
What is a Secondary Plan?
A Secondary Plan is required, as per the Official Plan, prior to any development proposals being implemented. The purpose of a Secondary Plan is to provide land-use policies and guidelines tailored to the subject area, which will manage and direct the future growth and development expected to occur on these lands.
This Secondary Plan process is initiated by the Bradford CP5 Developers Group Inc. and led by a team of consultants in collaboration with the Town.
