In the Township of Russell, applications for Plan of Subdivision are processed in collaboration with the United Counties of Prescott and Russell (UCPR). Under the Planning Act, the UCPR serves as the approval authority for all subdivision applications within the Township.
Subdivision applications must be submitted directly to the UCPR. Applications must include all required supporting studies, drawings, and fees as outlined in the UCPR’s submission guidelines.
Before filing an application, applicants are strongly encouraged to schedule a pre-consultation meeting with both the UCPR and Township staff. Pre-consultation helps identify requirements, potential issues, and the most efficient path forward. The applicant must consult UCPR Planning and Township of Russell Planning staff for fees associated with pre-consultations and applications.
