Committee of Adjustment

Consent of the Committee of Adjustment is required to:

• Divide/sever property for the purpose of selling it
• Validate title
• Lease land for a period of over 21 years
• Establish a right of way
• Create an easement, or
• Adjust a lot line

The Planning Act stipulates that consent must be granted before a parcel of land can be divided to create an additional lot(s). This process is referred to as a land severance. Controlling the division of land through “severance” gives the City of Brantford a mechanism for ensuring that the creation of lots is consistent with the planning policies of the Province and the City of Brantford.
