Project overview
The District has received an application for a Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA) for 1591 Haywood Avenue. The proposed HRA would enable subdivision of the property as an incentive for ongoing legal protection (Heritage Designation) of the Clegg House to be retained on the lot. The proposal includes work within 15 m of a watercourse, including new buildings and proposed tree removals. As such, a concurrent Environmental Development Permit (EDP) is required. The proposal also requires a concurrent Development Permit for a detached secondary suite.
The proposed works include:
- On the proposed southern lot (Lot A) relocating the Clegg House to a new foundation southwest of the current location and adding a stratified garden suite in the basement level in accordance with a conservation plan, adding a coach house with vehicle access from 16th Street and adding a new driveway and parking pad accessed from Haywood Avenue; and
- On the proposed northern lot (Lot B) adding a new single-family dwelling and detached garage with vehicle access from the unopened lane to the north of the property.
The Clegg House was built in 1929 and was one of the first residences built in the neighbourhood. It is valued because of its late Craftsman style, its contribution to the development of its immediate neighbourhood, and its association with the Clegg family, the original property owners.
The HRA is the legal framework between the District and the property owner, and municipal heritage designation is to provide for ongoing legal protection of the Clegg House.
