What is a Development Permit?

A Development Permit (DP), is a tool which most municipalities have in place to regulate types of development. The DPs are clearly defined in their Official Community Plans and normally include a map showing what areas require a DP and which kind of DP is required.

For example, adjacent to most streams a DP is required. Typically in order to apply for a DP, you need to retain the services of a Qualified Environmental Professional, or QEP. The QEP performs any necessary assessments and completes the DP application form.

The application is submitted to the municipality for approval.

How long does a DP take?

Most applications are in the order of a few months to a year – this varies completely with the type of DP required.
