Permits are available for right-of-way control as well as over dimension loads traveling through the County

In accordance with the County’s right-of-way control regulations, County staff evaluate a variety of issues and ensure compliance with the policies of the local road authorities, police, conservation authorities and federal/provincial government agencies. These issues include drainage matters; private feature and road allowance obstruction impacts and encroachments; and traffic issues such as speed limits, parking restrictions and road signage.

Right-of-way control:

Right-of-way includes the review and issuance of the following permits:

  • entrance application (public, residential, commercial, farm, field)
  • excavation application (private construction in a County road allowance)
  • encroachment application (private feature remaining in a County road allowance)
  • utility municipal consent application (public utility installation in a County road allowance)


Over Dimension Loads:

  • excess load application (oversize loads/dimensions as per The Highway Traffic Act)
     

The County reviews and provides comments as an interested stakeholder on all land use applications (consent to sever/minor variance/zoning by-law/development site plan) within the County. These applications are initiated at the local municipality level through their planning and building departments and are circulated to the County for comment.
