[Massplanners] Subdivision Approvals

[Darlene Wynne]

Hi Bill,
We put a construction completion deadline on subdivisions when the plans
are endorsed (when the appeal period has passed). This is in our local
Subdivision Regulations.  It is typically 2 years. We do entertain and
grant extensions and modifications when requested.

I was unclear from your email if any activity began? But with no action
after so much time, I would most likely require a new subdivision
application for any work at the site because the deadline had passed.

Best,

Darlene Wynne, AICP
