Neighbourhood plans and concept plans
In 2026, Neighbourhood Plans and Concept Plans were introduced to the planning framework. Within an Area Structure Plan, Neighbourhood Plans and Concept Plans focus on a single neighbourhood providing more details on land uses, neighbourhood design, density and population projections, building typologies, and roads.
Effective November 1, 2026, either a Neighbourhood Plan will be required for undeveloped neighbourhoods containing approximately a quarter section of land (64 ha) or a Concept Plan for partially developed neighbourhoods containing less than one quarter section of land. While applicants will not be required to submit these plans until November 1, 2026, it is strongly encouraged to submit them earlier. An Engineering Design Brief is required with a Neighbourhood Plan to provide more information on servicing.
With updated process and requirements implemented in the Area Structure Plan and Neighbourhood Terms of Reference, Policy 7,000 - Area Structure Plan Policy has been rescinded and is no longer required.
For more information, please refer to the Area Structure Plan and Neighbourhood Plan Terms of Reference and the Concept Plan Terms of Reference.
