The HBPP should be prepared by a qualified individual in accordance with the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada, 2nd Edition (Parks Canada 2010); the Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Practices by the Canadian Association of Conservation of Cultural Property and the Canadian Association of Professional Conservators (2009); the MHSTCI’s Eight Guiding Principles in the Conservation of Built Heritage Properties (2007); Preservation Briefs 31: Mothballing Historic Buildings (Park, 1993), and Well-Preserved: The Ontario Heritage Foundation’s Manual of Principles and Practice for Architectural Conservation (Fram 1998).

  2. The applicant shall establish a regular inspection and monitoring protocol until the proposed development is initiated;
  3. The applicant shall prepare a Heritage Conservation Plan (HCP) detailing how the heritage attributes of the farmhouse will be conserved, protected, and enhanced, and the preferred conservation approach (i.e., rehabilitation for adaptive reuse), that balances the objectives of heritage conservation with economic and social sustainability.

  6. The applicant shall incorporate landscaping measures into the site planning to ensure vegetation related to the property is protected and/ or enhanced by the development or redevelopment.
  7. Efforts should be made to maintain the vegetation on the overall property as much as possible.
