Subject Area

What does it mean if a subdivision has been draft approved? The plan of subdivision has been draft approved by Grey County. The applicant must fulfill all conditions laid out in the decision before the subdivision enters the final approval phase.

What types of conditions need to be met by the developer? Conditions will normally include such matters as detailed design of storm water management and engineering reports by the applicant’s consultants, the signing of a Subdivision Agreement with the host municipality, provision of Letters of Credit to guarantee completion of work associated with the development, and other items intended to ensure that the development will be carried out in a manner consistent with the public interest.

What is the timeline and next steps? Depending on the work that must be carried out, or on the priorities of the applicant, considerable time may lapse between draft approval and final approval. During this time, there may be requests (from the applicant or host municipality) to modify the conditions of draft approval. If the changes are not considered minor, notification to all persons or public bodies that previously made written submissions, or requested notification of changes, must be carried out.

When all the conditions of the draft approval have been cleared by the municipality and agencies, final approval of the plan of subdivision will be granted by the Director of Planning. The final approval process can be done all at once or in phases.
