8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowinanville, March 3, 1976 Section Two Would Save Time and Money With More Local Control Newcastle Planning Direct- or, George Howden, in a report on possible revisions to the Planning Act, expressed the feeling that zoning amend- ments could be processed much more easily in cases of obections. e further feels that the OMB should have the ri1ht to dispense with calling a ear- ing on the objections to the amendment if they conclude that such objection is of a This would be a welcome change from the present status which requires a hear- ing to be called if only one appeal is filed. e Planner would also like to see4uthority, with regional approval, given to the local municipality for approving subdivisions without having to go to the Ministry of Housing. In that way, the Minister would conduct a review of the development if objections were filed. Mr. Howden is confident that such a method could chop a year off the time it now takes to approve subdivision plans. Such other planning de- cisions as minor variance, severances and site plan approvals, he feels, shoufd be dealt with at the local level by a committee similar to the present committee of adjust- ment. The planning director feels s reduction in the amount of redundant work can be reduc- ed if local official plans did not re uire provincial approval where a regional plan is in effect. Also subdivisions should not require provincial approval except on review of obections while Mr. Howden feels prov- incial staff should be more involved in the formative stages of the official plans rather than conducting re- views of them once completed. He suggests that some provincial financial assis- tance be provided to munici- palities for planning programs required by the province.
