Land Severance & New Build House Design & Permit – Richmond Hill, Ontario
The land severance application successfully passed the Committee of Adjustment process, and the required municipal permits and approvals were subsequently obtained from the City of Richmond Hill.
The result was two separate residential lots, one containing the existing house and the other providing a new residential building lot for the proposed custom home.
This project involved the severance of an existing residential property in Richmond Hill into two separate legal lots, creating an opportunity for the construction of a new custom home while retaining the existing dwelling on the original lot.
Permit Man managed the land severance and Committee of Adjustment process, beginning with a review of the property, applicable zoning by-law requirements, and development potential of the proposed lots.
Our team prepared the required site planning and supporting drawings, submitted the severance application, and represented the application at the City of Richmond Hill Committee of Adjustment hearing.
As part of the planning process, we developed a schematic design and proposed layout for a new custom house on the severed lot.
The location, building footprint, setbacks, access, and overall site configuration were carefully planned to demonstrate that the newly created property could accommodate a functional residential development in accordance with applicable zoning requirements.
Our scope also included coordination of municipal requirements associated with the proposed development, including the applicable site alteration permit requirements.
The severance application successfully passed the Committee of Adjustment process, allowing the original property to be divided into two separate residential lots, one containing the existing house and the other providing a new residential building lot for the proposed custom home.
