There are a few different ways you can be involved.

The Municipality of Chester is working with FBM, Novita Interpares, and CBCL on a Built Form and Character-Defining Elements Study for the Village of Chester.

Chester Village has a character that reflects the community’s history. Character-defining features most often include:

• The external architecture of buildings;
• The historical or cultural importance of buildings and places;
• Views and streetscapes; and
• Site features, such as trees, hedges, landscaping, walls and fences.

The Study will inform the review of Chester Village Planning documents, including the Land Use Bylaw, which contains regulations that apply to new developments and building renovations.

We also be holding community engagement events in the spring. Please check back for more information and details.
