Garage Doors: Brampton

Hope Springs Eternal Dept: This is a bit like closing the garage doors after the cars have gone, but hope springs eternal, according to The Star. Given that the issue here is size, this should be enough to eliminate the problem. Neighbours complain that these huge structures overwhelm the bungalows and side-splits that have been the norm for decades and has time run out for Brampton? That city s council certainly hopes so. Rather than deal with the changes sweeping the makeshift suburban city, local leaders have decided to put a stop to the future before it happens. Overwhelmed with complaints about monster homes rearing their ugly heads in Brampton s mature neighbourhoods, council unanimously adopted an interim bylaw this week that limits the size of any addition or new residential construction to just 15 percent more than the original building.
