Official Plan

Loyalist Township's Official Plan

The Official Plan (OP) is the policy structure we use to manage and direct physical planning and development in Loyalist Township. The plan outlines the Township's goals and objectives, states our policies, and says how we're going to achieve our goals by following our policies. The Township's Official Plan guides how the municipality will grow and develop until 2036.

The OP describes the type of growth and land use changes that are allowed in Loyalist, which allows for public and private investment. It brings in components that are important locally, as well as including the Provincial Planning Statement.

Our staff and Council recognize that physical planning doesn't happen in a bubble. It needs to make sense for the Township's social needs, economic needs, financial capabilities, environmental considerations, and natural resources. For that reason, the OP is much more than a set of land use controls. 

Official Plan Update, 2022 (Amendment No. 38)

Loyalist Township adopted the Official Plan Comprehensive Review Amendment on September 27, 2021, and approval from the County of Lennox and Addington (with two modifications) was received on March 23, 2022.

Any Planning Act applications submitted and deemed complete before April 15, 2022 shall be reviewed under the existing 2001 Official Plan, as amended (prior to Amendment No. 38 to the Official Plan).
