Severances
A consent (severance) is required when the property owner wishes to subdivide land. Please review the Municipality of Bluewater Official Plan for policies and requirements for land severances.
Applications for Official Plan amendments, consents (severances) and plans of subdivision/condominium are vetted through the Municipality of Bluewater Council. However, they receive final approval from Huron County.
Please contact the Planner or Planning Coordinator for help with any application or to arrange a pre-consultation meeting to discuss your project.
