Planning and Development

The Planning Department for the Township of South Stormont deals with:

When planning any construction project, please contact us to determine the approvals needed. For information on planning and building fees, see the Township's Fees and Charges By-law.  All building in the Township must be in compliance with the Official Plan, Zoning By-Law and Building By-Law.

Pre-consultation - It helps you…it helps us!

An effective pre-consultation can advance your project through the required approval process quicker. It is a process where applicants consult with municipal and agency staff to discuss the development proposal in the context of all relevant provincial, regional and municipal policies, guidelines and requirements prior to their formal application submission. By addressing comments and issues raised at the pre-consultation meeting an applicant can reduce the number of revisions to an application, thereby reducing the overall time of the approval process.
