Land Severance for Recreational Lot Near Dryden - Van Horne Township
Official title: John Dove - New - Approval for a consent (subject to conditions) in an area where there is no official plan in place
A property owner near Dryden wants to split off a 3.57-hectare lot for recreational use. The land already has a shed, garage, and solar panels. The remaining 62.8 hectares would stay undeveloped.
Why This Matters
Live near Van Horne Township? This decision sets a precedent for how rural land gets divided up. If you use the private road or care about development patterns in the area, you might want to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, a new 3.57-hectare recreational lot would be created with road access via Highway 594 and Sfreddo Drive. This could influence future severance applications in areas without official plans.
