Official Plan
An Official Plan sets out a municipality's general policies for future land use, and states the land use planning goals that guide development.

Zoning
Zoning By-Laws establish and regulate land use by implementing the general policies from the Official Plan.

Minor Variance
If a development proposal does not conform exactly to a Zoning By-Law but meets the general intent and purpose, and complies with the Official Plan, an application may be made for a Minor Variance.

Consent
All division of land in Ontario is subject to subdivision control, either through a Plan of Subdivision or Consent approval to ensure that the new lots are consistent with the planning policies set out in the Official Plan and Zoning By-Laws.

Site Plan
Site Plan Control By-Laws require certain types of buildings or developments to obtain, “site plan approval” prior to construction.

Plan of Subdivision
The County of Lambton facilitates Plans of Subdivision for the Township of Warwick. Please visit their website for more information.
