Summary: This application amends the Official Plan to reduce the minimum proportion of single detached dwellings that are required as part of the housing mix provided in newly developing residential areas. The City has previously required a minimum of 45% of new dwellings to be ‘single detached dwellings’. This amendment will reduce the
minimum proportion to 30% of all new housing. The maximum proportion of housing that can be in the form of ‘single detached dwellings’ is not changed by this amendment.
