The Region of Peel has filed a motion of intent to demolish a heritage home on The Gore Road.

JUST THE FACTS

— The Mayfield Watermain Installation project is anticipated to commence in January 2020. The building cannot remain in its current location if the infrastructure improvements planned by the Region of Peel are to take place.

— A 2014 Heritage Impact Assessment indicated the property meets the criteria for designation under the Ontario Heritage Act.

— The region submitted a notice to demolish the home, approved by Brampton's Planning and Development Committee on Oct. 21.

— The property is currently listed on the City of Brampton’s Municipal Register of Cultural Heritage Resources. Together with St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church and Cemetery located on the southeast corner of Mayfield Road and The Gore Road, the property forms part of the historical Hamlet of Wildfield.

— The residence that stands on this lot was constructed during the 1870s and is a good example of the Gothic Revival-inspired architectural style that dominated rural, agricultural-based settlement activities during the mid to late 19th century.

— The Region of Peel is planning to undertake improvements to Mayfield Road from Airport Road to Coleraine Drive. A Heritage Impact Assessment indicated the removal of the dwelling would not adversely impact the attributes of St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church and Cemetery.

— The Region of Peel will remove 11962 The Gore Rd. from the Heritage Register, and pursue the removal of the dwelling on site.
