The County of Brant is modernizing its entire zoning framework through the introduction of a new Community Planning Permit System (CPPS). This new system combines several approval processes into one streamlined process and ensuring community needs are at the heart of every decision.
The Details
The County of Brant is creating a new Community Planning Permit System (CPPS) to guide how land is used and developed in our community.
Right now, development applications such as zoning changes, minor variances, and site plans are handled through separate processes. The CPPS will bring these into one clear and streamlined process. This means applications can be reviewed more efficiently, with fewer steps, while ensuring that community needs remain the top priority throughout the process.
The CPPS will help the County:
Support the goals of the County’s Official Plan.
Secure community benefits such as space for community facilities, parks, open spaces, and affordable housing options as a condition of the Community Planning Permit application.
Protect our environment, cultural heritage, and archaeological sites.
Provide greater flexibility in development standards.
Encourage attractive, well-designed development.
In short, the CPPS will make the planning process easier to understand and more flexible, while making sure that community needs and values guide the way our County grows and changes. This is a major change to localize how development decisions are made, which is why we're inviting all residents, property owners, and businesses to learn more, ask questions and share feedback. Together, we can build a community planning permit system that supports growth while preserving what makes Brant unique.
