Planning Applications

A formal consultation meeting is required prior to the acceptance of all planning applications. The formal consultation meeting may address more than one application, provided the applications are for the same development project. The purpose of the meeting is to facilitate initial discussions between the applicant and Municipal Staff relating to the information that is required to be submitted with the application as part of a complete application. Applications that are missing requirements or are deemed insufficient will be deemed incomplete. For more information please review to the Formal Consultation Meeting Request form. The pre-consultation form can be found here.

The Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc is transitioning to digital planning application submissions, using a web-based system called Cloudpermit. Cloudpermit is an account based system that allows you to apply for and to see the status of your planning application anywhere, at anytime. In addition, you can start an application and finish it later, you can receive email updates on the status of your application, and a record of all documents will be retained for reference.

Prior to beginning a planning application process, it may be helpful to review the application guidelines which can be found via this link. Please note that a pre-consultation meeting is required prior to the submission of any planning application.

Currently, the following application types are being accepted on Cloudpermit:

  • Minor Variance
  • Site Plan Approval
  • Zoning By-law Amendment

We do understand that not everyone will be able to submit digital files and hard copy submissions will still be accepted at the Municipal office. Traditional application forms can be downloaded below.

The Municipality is working to also include the following application types on Cloudpermit however they are still being accepted by hard copy at this time:

  • Official Plan Amendment Application
  • Plan of Subdivision/Condominium Application
  • Consent Application 

Hardcopy applications can be submitted to the Municipality (or the County for Plan of Subdivision / Condominium) directly.
