Services Subdivision Approvals The subdivision of land in unincorporated areas of New Brunswick – the division of one parcel of land into two or more parcels, is subject to the approval of Rural Planning District Commission development officers. The subdivision approval process generally follows these steps: - Consultation with a Development Officer to discuss your tentative subdivision proposal.
- Presentation of tentative subdivision plans to the Development Officer.
- Acquisition of required approvals from other provincial Departments.
- Hearing of the subdivision proposal by the Commissioners of the Rural Planning District Commission, if required.
- Notification of required revisions from the Development Officer.
- Preparation of a final version of the subdivision plan by a licensed New Brunswick Land Surveyor.
- Approval of the final subdivision plan by the Development Officer.
- Registration of the approved subdivision plan at the Registry Office.
Subdivision approvals may also require approvals from other government departments, such as Watercourse and Wetland Alteration permits, Crown Land approvals, and Department of Health approval for on-site sewage disposal. The Rural Planning District Commission also uses several internal guidelines to evaluate and give direction to subdivision applications, including the Guidelines for Lot Creation on Private Roads and the Water Supply Assessment Guidelines.
