Consents/Severances
Severances allow land owners to legally separate their property into two separate parcels/lots for the purpose of selling or leasing (for a period of at least 21 years) the severed land. The United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (SDG) are the approval authority for Consents/Severances within the Township of North Dundas.

Subdivision/Condo Development
A plan of subdivision is required when three or more lots are being created through the subdivision of land and at least two of those lots are going to be sold. A plan of subdivision is an agreement between the Township of North Dundas and the developer. The draft plan agreement lays out a list of conditions that must be met before the draft plan can achieve final approval. For application forms to apply for a subdivision or condominium development, visit: Planning Forms.

Part Lot Control
Part lot control enables the realignment of lots or further division of land that was subject to a Plan of Subdivision. Townships can exempt land using part lot control to allow for the further subdivision and adjustment of lot lines. An application must be submitted to exempt a parcel of land from part lot control. Approval is required in the form of a bylaw approved by Township Council and a stamp by SDG.
One Foot Reserves
One foot reserves are put in place to prevent access to public highways and/or to ensure that plans of subdivision are built in a logical and efficient manner through the use of phasing. Lifting a one foot reserve is necessary to allow for the next phase of a subdivision to start development or to gain access to a public road. To lift a one foot reserve, an application is necessary.
