Norfolk County council on Tuesday approved plans for a new 68-unit subdivision in Waterford.
Councilors voted unanimously in favor of the subdivision to be built on a four-hectare parcel of land at Charles Street and Washington Street.
The subdivision will include 23 detached homes, 15 bungalow townhouses and 30 two-storey townhomes.
County planning staff recommended approval of the development.
The subdivision meets the intent of the county’s official plan and provincial policies. It is the kind of development that can help contribute to a vibrant community, growth and density in a neighborhood, said a report.
The development was brought to council by G. Douglas Vallee Engineering Consultant, of Simcoe.
The development will meet a need for more housing in Norfolk County. Construction of the new subdivision could begin as early as this year.
