subdivisions

Under The Planning and Development Act, 2007, (the PDA) "subdivision" means a division of land that will result in the creation of a surface parcel or the rearrangement of the boundaries or limits of a surface parcel. It also includes the removal of a parcel tie that links two or more parcels together so as to prevent those parcels from being individually dealt with in the land registry if the situation involves:

• a legal subdivision (LSD) in a quarter section;
• a parcel linked to another parcel if the parcels:
  • were deemed to be one parcel of land pursuant to any former Act;
  • are separated by a road or railway plan or a water course; and
  • were held under one certificate of title before the implementation of The Land Titles Act, 2000.
• a parcel that was required to be consolidated with all or part of another parcel by a certificate of approval issued pursuant to the PDA or any former Act.
