A Development Permit is written authorization granted by the Town to a person(s) to carry out a specific development in compliance with the Zoning and Development Bylaw. Any person wishing to commence development within the Town of Stratford should first refer to the Section 4 of the Bylaw or contact one of the members of the Planning Department Staff to see whether or not a permit is required.
