Planning Applications & Approvals
Development in the Town of Latchford is guided by the Official Plan, Zoning By‑law, and applicable provincial legislation. If you are proposing a new development, subdivision, renovation, or change of land use, you may require planning approvals.

Depending on your project, you may need one or more of the following:
-
Zoning By‑law Amendment
-
Minor Variance
-
Site Plan Approval
-
Consent (Severance)
-
Official Plan Amendment (if applicable)
Town staff can help determine which approvals apply to your project.
Application Process
The planning process typically includes:
-
Pre‑consultation with Town staff
-
Submission of required forms and supporting documents
-
Review by municipal staff and external agencies (if required)
-
Public notice and/or public meeting (for certain applications)
-
Council decision or Committee of Adjustment decision
Clear, complete applications help ensure timely review.
Building Permits
Some projects may also require a Building Permit through the Temiskaming Municipal Services Association (TMSA). Staff can help you understand when a permit is needed.
