Planning Department

Planning Coordinator - Lindsay Mills - Ext 2221

Planning Assistant - Anne Levac - Ext 2224

The Planning Department deals with land use in the Township. This includes issues related to the Official Plan which sets the municipality’s vision for long-term growth in the township as well as the basic requirements for development, and the Comprehensive Zoning By-law which establishes specific requirements and regulations related to various categories of property. In addition, Planning Department staff consult with agencies and government bodies, and other municipal staff in order to provide appropriate advice to members of the public who are seeking to better understand their options in relation to the use and development of their property. Applications for severances and minor variances are processed through the Planning Department, as are zoning and official plan amendments, applications to close Township road allowances, requests for fence-viewing, and subdivision proposals. 

The following members were appointed to the Committee of Adjustment/Land Division Committee by By-law 2011-01:

Bedford District - Mark Tinlin, David Hahn

Loughborough District - Ron Vandewal, Len McCullough

Portland District - Bill Robinson, Larry Redden

Storrington District - Larry York, Ken Gee

Applications for consents or minor variances received after November 4th, 2011, will NOT be heard by the Committee of Adjustment until early in 2012. However, staff will be happy to discuss future plans with potential applicants at any time.
