PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT

Official Plan

The Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville Official Plan describes the Town's policies for how land should be used and coordinates future plans for growth.

The Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville Official Plan contains the land use designations and policies which establish the general pattern of development for the existing and future use of the lands in the Town. This consolidation includes the Official Plan as finally approved by the Town on September 2000 and as amended by Official Plan amendments over time. These amendments have been compiled into this Office Consolidation to form a singular document.

Sections 1 to 9 of the Consolidation contain the Official Plan Policies that are primarily applicable to the rural / agricultural area of the Town. These sections include the vision, principles and objectives as well as the schedules for this area of the Town.

Sections 10 to 13 of the Consolidation contain the Secondary Plans, which consist of detailed land use plans and policies for the communities of Stouffville and Ballantrae-Musselman Lake, the Gormley Industrial Area and the Vandorf - Preston Lake Area.
