Go Back To NewsYou’ve received your decision, now what?
You’ll typically receive the Subdivision & Development Appeal Board’s letter about 15 days after a decision has been made. This decision is FINAL, with no ability to further appeal unless it can be shown that the Board erred in law or jurisdiction. You may appeal the Board’s decision to the Alberta Court of Appeal.
You must apply for leave to appeal a decision of the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board within 30 days of the date that the written decision was issued
If your appeal was: GRANTED
This means that the previous decision has now been replaced.
✔️ If your decision was originally refused, it is now approved subject to you fulfilling conditions.
✔️If your decision had originally approved with conditions, the board has now changed one or more of your obligations
(and/or the parcel configuration drawing) using their discretion. Any new or revised approval conditions must be fulfilled within one year if you desire to register the subdivided properties.
If your appeal was: DENIED
This means that the previous decision has been upheld.
✔️ If your application was originally refused, it remains refused.
✔️ If your application was originally approved with conditions
(and based on a particular parcel configuration drawing), all of those
original conditions (and original parcel configuration drawing) remain in effect and must be fulfilled within one year if you desire to register the subdivided properties.
