Land Use Plans & Policies
We have a comprehensive set of plans, policies and regulations to guide future development in Surrey. Plans include
- strategies for land use and development,
- infrastructure servicing,
- transportation,
- heritage protection,
- tree preservation, and
- other related development issues.
Land use plans that determine the location and type of development along with related policies and strategies provide a framework for the development of Surrey. Development projects that comply with these guidelines and requirements help our city grow and realize its goal as a community and meet our sustainability objectives.
