Subdivision Approvals

Generally, when you divide a piece of land into multiple lots (i.e., three or more), you are subdividing property and the provisions of Ontario's Planning Act and its Regulations come into effect.

If your proposal involves creating only one or two parcels, you may be able to seek approval for a land severance. See Severance or Consent for further information.

Subdivision approvals are handled between the Region, who is the approval authority, and the Township of Woolwich who holds the public meetings. The Township and the Region may require conditions of draft plan approval, and a subdivision agreement to be entered into.
