Taking Action for Heritage

OLRA Heritage Working Group

Overview of Block Analysis

​

 

The current Old Oakville Heritage District Plan contains an analysis of the character of the area using a block analysis approach which is designed to identify the character of the visual blocks within the District.  The breakdown by Block provides a more intimate examination of the District and the diversity of the character that exists within the overall boundaries of the District itself. 

 

The OLRA Working Group has reached a conclusion that the Block Analysis continues to be an important way in which to describe the various parts of the District, their unique characteristics and how the collection of Blocks individually and collectively add to the overall character of the Old Oakville Heritage District. Review the Block Analysis here.  Please note: There is no Block 7

​

The OLRA Working Group has completed a review of the current plan and other reference documents to identify features that contribute to the character of the area.  This analysis has been completed by block and provided to the Town as input.

​

The analysis includes two parts:

• Overall Streetscape for each Block (included on the website in its entirety - here)

• Built Inventory which speaks to every property within the District boundaries (two examples of which are available below)
