Neighbours upset over damaged century-old trees in Barrie's south end

  BARRIE, ONT. -- Some residents in Barrie's south-end Allandale neighbourhood say they're frustrated over the lack of rules and regulations regarding building secondary suites on residential properties. Arlene McCann's backyard currently has a giant hole where a second house on her neighbour's property is being built. "We had no notice of this. It started Monday with a survey crew coming in quickly followed by a bulldozer," she said. The city issued the owner of the property a permit to build the secondary suite. It's part of a strategy to create more affordable housing after the province loosened rules in 2019 around secondary suites as part of its More Homes, More Choice Act.
