Toe Municipal Plan contains the goals, objectives and policies of Council regarding
development of the municipal planning area of the next ten years. Its aim is to promote the
well-being of the community and efficiently utilize land, water, and other resources. The
Englee Municipal Plan consists of written text and Future Land Use Maps.
Ministerial Approval
When the Municipal Plan is formally adopted by resolution of the council under Section ~I
~ (1) of the Act, two copies must be impressed with the Seal of the Council and signed by
the Mayor. The council must then give notice of its intention to seek the approval of the
Minister of Municipal and Provincial Affairs by publishing a notice in the Newfoundland
Gazette and in a newspaper published, or circulating, in the community. The notice must
state where and when the Municipal Plan may be inspected by any interested person and
8
ENGLEE MUNICIPAL PLAN
the time and place set by the Minister for the hearing of any objections or representations.
At the Public Hearing, a Commissioner appointed by the Minister will hear the objections
and representations, and subsequently forward to the Minister a written report, together with
copies of all the evidence taken at the Public Hearing.
After the Public Hearing is concluded and the Commissioner's report has been submitted,
the Council must apply to the Minister for approval of the Municipal Plan. The Minister
requires two copies of the Municipal Plan certified correct by the Clerk of the Council, a
copy of the adopting resolution and of all written objections and representations considered
at the Public Hearing. On receipt of this material, the Minister may approve the Municipal
Plan, with or without modification, or may disapprove it and order that a new Municipal
Plan be prepared. Upon approval, the Minister will endorse a copy of the plan and return
it to the council. Within ten days of receipt of the final approval by the Minister, the
Council must publish a notice of approval in the Newfoundland Gazette and in a local
newspaper.
The Effect and Variation of the Municipal Plan
When the Municipal Plan comes into effect, it is binding upon the council and upon all
other persons, corporations and organizations. The Plan has to be reviewed by the Council
at the end of every five years from the date on which it comes into effect and at that time
revised as necessary to take account of developments which can be foreseen during the next
ten-year period.
The Municipal Plan may be amended in whole or in part for just cause by repeating the
process by which it was adopted and approved initially.
ENGLEE MUNICIPAL PLAN
9
Development Schemes
At any time after the adoption of the Municipal Plan, the Council can prepare and adopt
Development Schemes under Sections~ a!le~~ of the Act for the purpose of carrying out
specific proposals of the Municipal Plan. A development Scheme may provide for the
acquisition, assembly, consolidation, subdivision and sale or lease by the municipality of land
and buildings which are necessary to carry out provisions of the Municipal Plan. The
Scheme may reserve land for future acquisition as the site of any public roadway, service
or building, or for a school, park or other open space and may make such agreements with
the owners of the land as will permit its acquisition and use for those purposes. The
Development Scheme may also specify the manner in which any particular area of land is
to be used, subdivided or developed, and may regulate the construction of buildings which
would interfere with the carrying out of the Development Scheme.
Development Schemes are prepared and approved in exactly the same way as the Municipal
Plan, and, when approved, form part of that Plan.
Municipal Plan Administration
When a Municipal Plan comes into effect, the council is required to develop a scheme for
the control of the use of land in strict conformity with the Municipal Plan in the form of
land use zoning, subdivision, and any other regulations necessary. After adoption by the
council, these regulations must be submitted to the Minister for approval.
Regulations must comply with the requirements of the Urban and Rural Planning Act, and
Standard Provincial Regulations have been developed to form the basis of these regulations.
Councils are also advised, if they have not already done so, to adopt the National Building
Code of Canada as its building regulations.
The day-to-day administration of the Municipal Plan, and subsequent regulations, is in the
10
ENGL.EE MUNICIPAL PLAN
hands of staff members authorized by the Council. Council staff have the duty of issuing
all necessary permits approved by Council and making recommendations to the Council in
accordance with the Municipal Plan policies and implementing regulations regarding all
development in the Municipal Planning Area.

approximately sgg feet ~llff(mi\r~, above sea level, although this varies considerably due to
the irregularly of the terrain. There are a number of ponds scattered throughout the area,
generally at higher elevation.
The area has been glaciated and stripped of topsoil, particularly in the higher regions.
striations are evident, generally running in a northeasterly direction. The Planning Area is
heavily wooded with coniferous forest, except in the areas of exposed bedrock.

felt that given the availability of new housing areas, the initial demand will be the greatest,
tapering off considerably as housing needs are met.

It would be highly desirable to diversify the industrial base, but this is very difficult to do
in Englee due to the scarcity of land based natural resources and the distance from any
large market area. The most realistic approach for Council to take is to actively promote
and assist in diversifying the species of fish processed in Englee and to encourage
government services to locate in the area. This would provide some measure of protection
against the fluctuations in a single resource based economy.

Goals and Objectives
This section of the Municipal Plan sets out the long range goals that the town is thriving to
achieve through the planning process. These goals are of a very general nature and are
attained by the identification and implementation of specific objectives that will build
cumulatively towards the realization of the goals that have been set.
The goals are usually grouped with the appropriate land use areas, but this may vary when
issues concern the Municipality in general. In this instance, the issues are often unrelated
to specific land uses. These goals form the foundation of the Municipal Plan and are
complemented with the identification of objectives which are normally expressed in finite
terms, if possible to do so.
Together, these goals and objectives contribute to the
formulation of policies for land use area and other planning issues. The policies set out
specific measures that apply to land use area planning issues and regulate development in
the Planning Area.

Commercial Policies
It is the intent of this policy to encourage more commercial development in Englee by the
designation of a Commercial Land Use Area. There is very little open land in the central
area of Englee where new commercial activities could locate, therefore it is necessary to
develop a commercial area elsewhere in the Town.
The logical location for a new
commercial area would be along the highway leading to Roddickton because of easy access
and the availability of land.

Mixed Development Policies
The central area of Englee is densely developed with a mixture of land uses.
The
predominant land use is residential housing interspersed with small commercial sites,
churches, recreational open space and public service uses. It is the intention of this
Municipal Plan to permit the continuation of this type of development in this area.
The following policies apply in the Mixed Development Area:

Industrial Policies
It is the intent of this policy to protect the existing industrial sites in Englee from
encroachment by conflicting land uses. Due to the scarcity of land in Englee for industrial
development, this policy shall designate sections of land along the waterfront for future
marine-industrial expansion. This is based on the assumption that part of the harbour will
be infilled to provide a land base for operation.
The following industrial land use policies shall apply:
-
Industrial areas are established as indicated on Future Land Use Map 1.

Rural Resource Policies
It is the intention of this policy to preserve the resources of the Rural Resource area for the
use of present and future residents of Englee. This hinterland. area contains economically
valuable reserves of timber, aggregate, and land that should be protected from uses that
might prejudice their development. This policy reserves the rural Resource area for the
development of its natural resources and other industrial potential in addition to passive
recreational uses.
The following policies shall apply in the Rural Resource Area:

ENGL.EE MUNICIPAL PLAN
.
It is the policy of this Municipal Plan to develop a safe, efficient and functional system of
roads and streets for the Town of Englee. The transportation network often determines the
future patterns of community growth, requiring careful planning and design for optimum
expansion. New residential streets should connect to larger roads and provide access points
to future residential land. In this manner, both the streets, service infrastructure and
residential areas may be extended with minimum costs to the Town.
It is also important that development be prevented from encroaching on the rights-of-way
of new and existing streets in order to facilitate ease of maintenance and snowclearing.

Administration
(a)
Introduction
The preparation, adoption, and approval of this Municipal Plan represents only a
part of the planning process. In other words, the Municipal Plan is not an end in
itself nor does it serve any useful purpose without being implemented.
The Municipal Plan must be implemented by means of the regulatory powers
conferred upon the Council by section 37 of the Urban and Rural Planning Act and
such other statutes, enabling legislation and programs as may be applicable. the
Municipal Plan must serve as a continuing reference and guide to Council and its
officials in order to achieve the goals, objectives, policies, and programs which it
contains.
(b)
Land Use Zoning, Subdivision and Advertisement Regulations or the Development
Regulations.
The direction and orderly control of land use is an important feature of the
municipality's planning program. For that purpose, Development Regulations are the
most effective tools. After the Municipal Plan is formally adopted, Council is
required under section 36 of the Urban and Rural Planning Act to prepare these
Development Regulations for the control of land use in strict conformity with the
ENGLEE MUNICIPAL PLAN
35
Municipal Plan. These must include Land Use Zoning Regulations, Subdivision
regulations, and Advertisement Regulations.
Other regulations must be in
compliance with part VIII of the Act. Council may establish these other regulations
to control the use and development of land in accordance with the Municipal Plan.
Essentially, zoning is a means of ensuring that the future land uses are in conformity
with the Municipal Plan, that they are properly situated in relation to one another,
and that they do not conflict with or adversely affect adjacent properties. Based on
concepts set out in the Municipal Plan, zoning directs new growth into suitable areas
and protects property by requiring that development afford adequate light, air, and
privacy for persons living and working within the community. Zoning also allows for
the control of development directly in each area so that property can be effectively
serviced by means of a corresponding extension of the existing public services.
As mentioned above, in the Development Regulations there are permitted uses for
each of the zones which are primary and are allowed in that particular zone. The
issuing of permits for these permitted uses is usually straight forward, subject to the
requirements of the Development Regulations and any further conditions imposed
by Council. Discretionary uses are those which may be allowed in a specific zone
if:
(1)
The development would not be contrary to the general intent and purpose of the
;?;ea¼ag ~~f~l$,?p@iit Regulations, the Municipal Plan, or any other further Plans
or regulations.
(2)
Proper public notice has been given and Council is satisfied that it is not against the
public interest and will fit into the zone as a complementary or non-damaging use.
(3)
Council is satisfied that the discretionary use is suitably located within the zone
proposed.
36
ENGLEE MUNICTPAL PLAN
Permitted and discretionary uses are listed individually for each zoning category in
the Development Regulations.
(c)
Control of Development
Council will exercise proper control over all development within the Planning Area
in accordance with this Municipal Plan and the Development Regulations.
Any person wishing to develop or subdivide land for any purpose within the Planning
Area shall make application on the prescribed forms to Council for permission. It
is important to note that the Council will require a separate permit to be obtained
by the developer for the subdivision of land. All new development or redevelopment
as well as any change of use or intensity of use or alteration or improvement to any
land or existing building will require a permit from the Council. In addition, a
separate permit will be required for all building work and the occupancy of a
building.
A building permit will not be granted until a development and/or
subdivision permit has been obtained.
Council may grant approval in principle to enable a developer to test a proposal for
conformity with the municipal plan and development regulations without having to
go the expense of preparing detailed plans.
If the Council is in favour of the proposal, approval in principle may be given, subject
to the submission and approval of detailed plans of development and any other
conditions that Council may impose. An approval in principle is processed and
considered just like any other application.

In an effort to ensure that adequate funds are available at the appropriate time to
implement each feature of the municipal plan, Council shall prepare and submit
every year a five-year forecast of their anticipated capital expenditure requirements.

MAPS
In order to further the development of an orderly, economic and attractive development
pattern, the Planning Area is divided into groups of complementary land uses having related
function which do not ordinarily interfere with each other, constitute mutual nuisances or
hamper each other's activities. The general land use designation.~ are set out on Future
Land Use Maps 1 and 2 which form part of this Municipal Plan.
The intent of the Municipal Plan is to guide development into these land use designations;
thereby separating activities that have conflicting requirements and functions. Commercial
and industrial areas are located where they may benefit from important transportation
facilities and local resources and the pattern of uses has been derived with the intent of
preserving important natural features. It must be stressed that it is not the intent of this
Municipal Plan to segregate land uses for the sake of such segregation but only for the
purposes of preventing conflicts between each group of activities.
The road network is based on and designed to facilitate the satisfactory movement of both
people and goods to and from the various land use areas within the Planning Area, as well
as to facilitate through traffic movement.
