Site Plan Control and Building Permits

If you are applying for a building permit, you might need a Site Plan Control Agreement before a building permit can be issued if:

  • your property is in an area subject to the Site Plan Control By-Law,
  • what you are proposing is defined as development in The Planning Act,
  • a Site Plan Control Agreement is a condition of any rezoning, a minor variance or consent application that you are submitting.

You can apply for a building permit at the same time as you are applying for a site plan control agreement however, you may want to find out what your site plan control agreement will require before you proceed with a building permit application.
