Consent

A land severance is the authorized separation of a piece of land to form two new adjoining properties. This is commonly known as a Consent. A Consent application may be employed to create a new lot if it is demonstrated that a plan of subdivision is not necessary for the proper and orderly development of the land. The impact on the neighbourhood is assessed prior to the Committee making their decision. An application for Consent can create a new lot, an addition to a lot, an easement or a right-of-way or validate title. The Township's Official Plan has specific policies and requirements for a land severance. 

A basic application fee is required to cover normal costs incurred in processing a Consent application. For further information on fees, the process or the application form, please contact the Planning Department.  You can also speed up the process by downloading the Consent APPLICATION FORM.
