The lots developed in Senneville-sur-le-Parc and Boisé Pearson were designed to bring to life projects that reflect Senneville’s values, while promoting a contemporary and high-quality architectural framework. To assist buyers in the design of their residence, an Architectural Guide has been prepared. It outlines the principles and guidelines to follow in order to ensure overall harmony and preserve the unique character of the area. All relevant documentation is available on this page.

Senneville-sur-le-Parc

• The development of the Senneville-sur-le-Parc area was launched in 2016.
• It is one of the few areas on the Island of Montreal where the construction of detached single-family homes is permitted.
• The project is well underway: nearly 50% of the lots were built by 2025.

Boisé Pearson

• The first construction in the Boisé Pearson development will begin in the fall of 2025.
• It is one of the last single-family home projects on the Island of Montreal.
• The project is located in a wooded area, at the end of a cul-de-sac, just steps from a high school.

Permit Application Process

New construction projects require careful planning to ensure they meet your objectives while complying with applicable regulations. The Urban Planning and Environment Department actively works to preserve the quality of the community’s living environment by ensuring that each project adheres to municipal regulations regarding zoning, construction, subdivision, as well as permits and certificates.

Our dynamic team oversees a variety of residential projects and is available to answer any questions regarding the regulations applicable to your project (zoning, PIIA, Architectural Guide, building permits). We encourage you to contact the Department before starting your project for assistance by calling 514-457-6020 or by email at info@senneville.ca.

Here are some steps to consider before starting your construction project

Timeframe

A minimum period of 8 to 12 weeks is required for the issuance of the building permit after the submission of your complete and compliant application (Step 3).

Responsible Applicants

Regulations are designed to protect public interests. Urban planning by-laws are a means of regulating activities, construction and uses on the territory to ensure a better development framework, increased safety, and a better quality of life for all citizens.

The Town’s role is to assist applicants for construction or renovation permits. Citizens must act carefully and responsibly when making decisions related to their construction project.

Applicants have an obligation to be properly informed and to call upon private professional resources if necessary, both in the planning of projects and in the execution of the work. The quality of construction is the responsibility of the applicants, who must ensure that promoters, builders, contractors, and professionals carry out their work in accordance with the rules of the trade and fully assume their civil responsibilities.

Compliance with the Quebec Construction Code and the National Fire Code is the responsibility of the applicants, professionals, and contractors. Municipal officials may refer to them when analyzing permit applications or during inspections.

Role and Objectives of the Urban Planning and Environment Department

The Urban Planning and Environment Department supports you throughout the process of obtaining the required authorizations. However, it is your responsibility to submit a complete and compliant permit application and to demonstrate that the project meets the required architectural standards. We strongly recommend engaging professionals (e.g., an architect).

• The Department will assist you in completing your project.
• The Department will issue the necessary official certificates confirming compliance with the applicable regulations.
• The Department acts with integrity while respecting his/her responsibilities.
• The Department acts as a partner to protect your investment.
• The Department can make suggestions to improve your project and avoid costly mistakes.

*Although Boisé Pearson is not specifically mentioned in the SPAIP and the Architectural Principles Guide, it is still subject to them under the By-law.
