Site Plans
Site plan control is a tool to make sure that land development is designed appropriately, safe, functional and minimizes potential impacts on neighbouring properties. It also makes sure that the County and Municipal standards for developing land are respected.
The Municipality of Brockton feels that it is important that the details of any new development should be clearly understood by both the individual(s) initiating the development and the Municipality prior to any building permit(s) being issued. Specifics of the development such as surface drainage, connections to municipal services, property line setbacks and exterior lighting should be reviewed by the Municipality prior to the initiation of the development. This process benefits the developer; the Municipality and the owners of adjacent properties.
When is Site Plan Control required?
The Municipality has adopted Site Plan Control requirements for any new development in the community of Walkerton and, on site specific locations, in other areas of Brockton. All commercial, institutional, industrial and residential developments (except single and semi-detached dwelling units) within the former Town of Walkerton may be subject to site plan approval, along with commercial parking lots and mobile home developments.
What is the process for Site Plan Control?
There is no timeframe for Site Plan Control Approval. Municipal staff will work as diligently as possible with the developer/applicant and consultants to ensure the necessary approvals are achieved in a timely manner. Approval from Municipal Council and potentially Bruce County Council are required.
