What is an entrance permit?

An entrance permit is required for all new entrances or alterations to existing entrances that provide access to roads. For public safety reasons, it is necessary to regulate entrances within municipal road allowances.

The purpose of the Entrance Control Policy is to set criteria and design standards for implementing the approval, construction, and alteration of entrances, and to provide safe access to roads within the Township of Malahide Road System. 

Do I require an entrance permit?

You require an entrance permit if:

  • If the entrance is part of a building permit, your building permit will be issued after the Building Department receives confirmation that you have completed an entrance application. 
  • If the owner wants to construct a new or alter an existing entrance
  • Resurfacing your driveway (*permit is free of charge in this scenario)

 

After the application has been completed, a representative of the Public Works Department will confirm compliance with the Township of Malahide Entrance Control Policy, and to determine extent of work required.

It should be noted, that a permit application does not permit the installation or modification of an entrance.  Approval of the application must be receive prior to commencing any work.
