Plans of Subdivision

Plans of subdivision divide larger parcels of land into smaller lots. A subdivision agreement confirms the property owner's responsibilities for development of this land. Plans of subdivision usually involve the division of three or more lots, and the construction of new roads and services. 

Plans for creating fewer than three lots generally require an application for land division instead of a plan of subdivision.
