Thornbury Acres
An application for a Grey County Official Plan Amendment has been received in relation to the Thornbury Acres development proposal. Grey County issued a Notice of Complete Application and Public Meeting on January 17, 2025. The Grey County Public Meeting is scheduled for February 26, 2025.
This project was previously subject to applications for a Town of The Blue Mountains Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment, and Plan of Condominium (File #3266), with a Public Meeting being held on May 16, 2023. Prior to Council making a decision on those applications, the applicant had appealed the project to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT), where it remains for decision. The County Official Plan Amendment is a new application that is being considered separate from and concurrent with the appeal process.
