A proposed development at Seymour Bay will be sent off for further information gathering. Bowen Island Properties presented an application to council last week which would clear the way for more than 300 residential units to be permitted in the Cowan Point Comprehensive Development Area (CDA). The area generally represents the Seymour Bay portion of the island, including Seymour Bay Drive and Seymour Landing. The Cowan Point area is currently zoned for 161 homes.
