Planning

Land use planning affects almost every aspect of life in the Municipality of the County of Cumberland. It helps decide where in our communities homes and factories should be built; where parks and schools should be located; where roads, sewers and other services should be provided; and whether something should be preserved or protected.

Land use planning means managing our land and resources. It helps each community to set goals about how and if it should grow and develop and to work out ways of reaching those goals while keeping important social, economic and environmental concerns in mind. It strives to balance the interests of individual property owners with the wider interests and objectives of the entire community.
