Planning

The Planning Department works closely with all Municipal Departments and other government agencies, including Middlesex County and local Conservation Authorities, to co-ordinate and process all development that occurs in the municipality and advise council and other committees of council on development-related matters. The role of the department is to manage growth in Strathroy-Caradoc and ensure a high quality of development that meets or exceeds policy objectives to ensure the health, safety, welfare, and well-being of all residents.

The department provides information to individuals and groups about the development process in the municipality and ensures that development applications are processed in a timely and efficient manner. Core areas of responsibility include the review of development proposals, processing of planning applications, the administration of the Zoning Bylaw and the Official Plan, the development of land use policy, and assistance with economic development initiatives when necessary.
