Official Plan Review

The Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc is reviewing and updating its Official Plan. The Official Plan sets out policies and objectives to guide land use, development, and growth across the Municipality. These policies are necessary to support orderly growth and compatibility between different land uses and the environment. The Municipality is required to review its Official Plan to ensure that it conforms with the latest policies set out by the Province of Ontario and the County of Middlesex.

The Official Plan consists of policies that guide things like:

Where housing, businesses, shops, and roads should go;
What parts of the Municipality will be the focus for growth and what that growth will look like;
How to promote, enhance, and protect neighbourhoods and heritage assets;
Which services and amenities, such as parks, trails, community centres, are needed and where they should be located; and
How to plan for the impacts of climate change and meet environmental targets

The feedback we hear from the community about the future of land use planning and growth management in Strathroy-Caradoc has been considered in completing the background review for the Official Plan Review.
Here is a recording from the November 16, 2021 Virtual Community Conversation where the findings of the Draft Policy Directions Report were introduced.
The Draft Policy Directions & Conformity Report contains detailed policy ideas for the updated Official Plan. The key directions include:
- Updating the Residential land use designation in Mount Brydges and Strathroy to permit a broad range of housing options, as well as other uses such as schools, small-scale retail, and parks to build vibrant neighbourhoods
- Planning for climate change and sustainability
- Supporting the agricultural community through expanded permissions for on-farm diversified uses and agriculture-related uses
- Promoting mixed-use development in specific locations in Mount Brydges and Strathroy
- Protecting the natural heritage system
…and much more!
