HERITAGE OTTAWA

In consultation with members of the New Edinburgh Community Alliance and Heritage Ottawa, City Heritage staff have drafted a new Heritage Conservation District Plan for New Edinburgh. 

The Plan will include policies and guidelines for managing existing heritage resources, additions to buildings and new construction in the Heritage Conservation District (HCD). The new Plan will replace the current guidelines approved by City Council in 2001.

Property owners and interested members of the heritage community are invited to attend a Public Open House at which Heritage Staff will present the draft HCD Plan and answer any questions. The Open House takes place on Thursday, October 8 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at St Bartholomew's Church, 125 Mackay Street. Heritage Staff will present the draft Plan at 8:00 pm and answer any questions.

Please note that the Public Open House originally scheduled for September 16, 2015 has been cancelled.

City heritage staff will present the Final New Edinburgh HCD Plan to the Built Heritage Sub-Committee and Planning Committee when they meet in December. The Plan will go to City Council in January 2016 for final approval.

Comments about the Plan should be sent to heritage planner Lesley Collins no later than November 1, 2015.
