Development permits are required for new projects, changes in the use of a property, or additions to existing structures. They address issues of community planning, bylaws, land use, image and compatibility.
How do I speed up the process?
- Apply for a development permit prior to a building permit.
- Carefully follow the application requirements lists to ensure the application is complete.
- Ensure the correct fee is submitted with the application.
- Provide all required documentation when submitting your plans.
