Developers demolition of three heritage homes and an old restaurant in a heritage corridor in Stratford to erect a four-storey, high-density condominium. ACO Stratford-Perth opposes this development on these grounds: It conflicts with the City of Stratford’s official plan that outlines this area as a heritage corridor. The massing of the proposal is unsympathetic to the surrounding streetscape. Such a development sets a precedent for further deterioration of the heritage corridor.
Demolition with the removal of mature trees conflicts with the City of Stratford’s climate emergency declaration. ACO Stratford Perth sent its concerns to the city planning department; they were brought forward to city council.
