Wendy: If you are considering providing a "Lot Addition" to a neighbour, you may want to discuss with the process with local officials. Some Planning Boards are now considering the lot addition to be a severance and therefore you have to through the application and approval process. There does not seem to be any consistency throughout the province on this matter so you are at the mercy of the local Planning Boards interpretation. Lot additions were a great way around the Municipalities Official Plan. If they only allow 3 parcels to be created out of the original 100 acre parcel, the Lot Addition was a way to squeeze out another lot. Can't do that if they consider that to be a severance.
