Proposed new chapter for the Conservation Authorities Policies and Procedures Manual
The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) and the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MEI) has just released a proposed new chapter for the Conservation Authorities Policies and Procedures Manual entitled: "Policies and Procedures for Conservation Authority Plan Review and Permitting Activities".
The objective of this new chapter is to provide clarity about the roles and responsibilities of Conservation Authorities in municipal planning and Regulatory permitting processes while establishing more consistency in Conservation Authority decision-making through plan review and permit process improvements. The proposed new chapter includes a compilation of relevant current legislation regarding conservation authority roles, as well as new policies related to applicant pre-consultation, complete application requirements, timelines associated with permit decision-making and permit appeals processes.
This chapter is intended to clarify the roles of Conservation Authorities in the areas of municipal plan review and permitting related to development activity and is proposed to be included as a new chapter in the existing Conservation Authorities Policies and Procedures Manual, 1997.
