NOW ACCEPTING DIGITAL SUBMISSIONS!

There are two steps to your permit application process. Find the required application forms and relevant documents below.

As we cannot accept or process incomplete applications, before submitting, we strongly suggest you talk to our Area Planner about your proposal.

The Stormwater Development Permit Guideline states:

"The total impervious cover of the site should minimize impact on the receiving aquatic environment. Consideration should be given to reducing impervious cover through reduction in building footprint and paved areas and use of on-site infiltration."

The guideline applies to:  Institutional properties that are increasing impervious surfaces — those that do not absorb water — by 250 m2 or more and subject to the Saanich General Development Permit Area.
