The City of Brampton initiated a policy review to address building additions and replacement dwellings in the City's mature neighbourhoods.
In February 2013, City Council passed Interim Control By-law (ICBL) 35-2013,
052-2014 which meant building additions or replacement dwellings exceeding 15 per cent of the existing dwelling’s gross floor area required a Council-approved exemption to the by-law before a building permit could be issued. The ICBL applied to specific residential zones across the older areas of Brampton that permit single and semi-detached dwellings.
With the ICBL in force, the City retained Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc. to undertake a study to recommend new policies, zoning regulations and a review process for building additions and replacement dwellings.
