Town of Perth clears way for six-unit development at 23 Welland Street

The Town of Perth has lifted the holding provision on a proposed development at 23 Welland Street

“A holding was placed on the property a few years back. The purpose of the hold was to ensure that a site plan was received for the property and that the property could be hooked up to municipal services,” said Joanna Bowes, director of Development Services with the Town of Perth.

A site plan control agreement would require the applicant to submit plans and drawings for the location of building, landscaping, garbage storage, traffic and pedestrian access, interior and exterior walkways etc.

Under Bill 23, the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022, a site plan agreement is no longer required for developments containing 10 or fewer units. This Provincial exemption was aimed at streamlining the development process for smaller residential projects and reducing approval timelines. 

“In this case the Town is unable to have the developer go through the site plan control application as the proposed development is six units.  The services are already existing and a hook up to the building is all that is required,” explained Bowes.

With the holding lifted the developer now has the green light to begin construction on the previously undeveloped land.
