File Manager: Site Plan Approval Process
The
File Manager System for managing the Site Plan Approval Process defines how
site plan applications are processed in the City of London. The process is based
on the File Manager System for Subdivisions introduced in 2008, which allows for
streamlining and consistency within the two approval processes. The updated Site
Plan Approval Process is an efficient and business friendly system that
recognizes the broad range in scope and complexity of development proposals.
To
initiate a Site Plan application, Applicants should contact Development
Approvals Business Unit (DABU) to arrange an informal Initial Inquiry with a
File Manager to discuss the proposed application 519-930-3500 or via DABU.
