Planning committee OKs Potter’s Key subdivision

– A temporary construction access road will link directly to Hazeldean Road, preventing any heavy duty vehicles from cutting through the existing neighbourhood.   – Only single-detached dwellings will be permitted to back onto existing single-family homes.

The next step is for council to vote on the plan.
