Highway 7 - Kitchener to Guelph

[tomh009]

That's right.  Breslau and Maryhill are in Woolwich, which is very much resistant to rezoning farmland (or forest) into residential or commercial.  I doubt Wellington County will be all that much different, either.

Resistant to rezoning?  You mean the public is?  I think that's true pretty much everywhere, it doesn't seem to be effective against sprawl at all.  There are some protections in Waterloo Region, but I'm guessing that the growth that is allowed will be eastward.   Wellington County has even less protections.  And provincially there are no real protections, not greenbelt, no watershed, nothing at the moment for this area.  The highway is going to pave the way for development here.  IMO.

Both the public and the township councils are resistant to allowing additional urban/suburban development on farmland: as a rule, it is simply not allowed.  The region's stance is the same. Take a look at the Woolwich official plan, for example:

Having lived in Woolwich before, I can tell you that in the past decade development has been limited to essentially Elmira, plus specific areas of Breslau and St Jacobs.

Where in the (Waterloo Region) townships are you seeing uncontrolled sprawl, in the last 10 years or so?
