THE SUBJECT LANDS of By-law 27-2025 are general in nature and the By-law applies to all properties within the Town of Carleton Place as identified in Schedule A of the Development Permit By-law 15-2015.

The Amendment will permit applicants up to three (3) years from the date of approval to fulfill any conditions and execute a Development Agreement with the Town if applicable. The amendment will also permit extensions of the lapsing period for a cumulative total of no more than one (1) year at the discretion of the Director of Development Services and any period in excess of one (1) year by resolution of Council, but in no case shall the validity period be extended beyond seven (7) years from the date of the original approval.
A copy of the By-law is available on the Town’s website for review.
