Official Plan

The Town Official Plan was adopted by Council in April 2012 and approved in March 2014. Since the approval of the Official Plan, 18 amendments have been made to the Plan. As of April 2023, The Town is in the process of conducting an Official Plan review and update in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act that will lead to the preparation of a new Official Plan.

Stay connected to the project through the Picturing Pelham Official Plan review page. 


 

The Official Plan is a municipality's blueprint for the future. It contains policies that guide municipal planning decisions and information on future expansion of the Town's network of roads, water mains, and sewers. The schedules (maps) show where residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, and recreational development can go and what areas must be protected from development.

 

On April 2, 2012, the Town of Pelham adopted a new Official Plan (in accordance with Section 17(22) of the Planning Act, R.S.O., p13) by By-Law 3259 (2012).

On July 18, 2014, the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) issued a written decision, Case No. PL121306, regarding the new Official Plan.

The decision approves the Official Plan, dated March 11, 2014, except for matters identified in Attachment 1 to the decision.

The deferred matters, that are pending future approval by the OMB, have been identified in the Official Plan with either grey or yellow highlighted text.
