Due to COVID-19, we have amended our submission process for all applications pertaining to planning, development, building and licensing. Only digital applications will be accepted for all services. Development & Compliance Services staff and our partners are committed to working with you through the application process to provide support and assistance. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Please be advised that in order to allow background documents and drawings, submitted in association with planning applications, to be posted on the City of London website for public viewing, we will require all submitted materials to be in an accessible format.
Any materials that are not in an accessible format will result in an application being deemed incomplete per the Planning Act and policy 1612 of The London Plan.
The accessible document requirements are outlined in the Web Compliance Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 AA Standards as required by the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) in the Information and Communications Standards of the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR).
For drawings, maps and information that are displayed visually, alternative text (alt-text) will be required to include a detailed description and provide context to ensure users of assistive technology can easily understand what the image is showing.

The following outlines the initial steps involved in making an application :
To initiate the site plan approval (SPA) process (apply for a site plan) applicants are encouraged to email developmentservices@london.ca or calling 519-930-3500 to arrange an informal discussion. This is an opportunity to discuss the proposal and process. Subsequent to this meeting, a submission may be made for site plan consultation.
All site plans are processed internally by multi-disciplinary teams of planners, engineers, site development planners, landscape architects and technicians, not to mention the various departments and agencies that provide feedback throughout the consultation and application process.
To begin the process of subdividing six or more parcels of land, or creating a road to service new parcels, applicants are encouraged to contact Development Services staff by emailing developmentservices@london.ca to arrange an informal discussion.
Subsequent to this initial discussion a submission may be made for Initial Proposal Review (IPR). This IPR (or Consultation stage) is required to establish baseline requirements and lay out the parameters for making a complete subdivision application.
Telecommunication facilities are regulated and approved by the federal government through Industry Canada. As they are approved at the federal level, Telecommunication facilities are not subject to regulation under the Ontario Planning Act through the City’s Official Plan, Zoning by-law, or site plan approval process. Industry Canada requires applicants for new Telecommunication facilities to consult with the City of London on the location of proposed facilities prior to the issuance of a license. The City of London has developed a Telecommunication Facilities Consultation Policy to institute a consultation procedure between telecommunication carriers, residents and the City. The procedure is intended to provide opportunities for public feedback regarding the site selection process of proposed Telecommunication facilities directly to the telecommunication carriers.
