Hampton’s Municipal Plan has been prepared in accordance with Sections 24 to 27 of the New Brunswick Community Planning Act, SNB 2017, c. 19 (the "CPA"). The CPA requires municipalities to prepare a Municipal Plan to guide decisions affecting land use and to review those plans every 10 years. Section 27 of the CPA explains that the adoption of a municipal plan does not commit a municipality or the Province to undertake what is outlined in the plan, but prevents the undertaking of a development in any manner inconsistent with a proposal or policy outlined or suggested in the plan.
A Municipal Plan is a living document and may be amended from time to time as determined to be appropriate by the Town Council. The Municipal Plan is implemented through the action of the policies that Ile within and through the Zoning and Subdivision By-laws. Should a conflict exist between the Municipal Plan and the Zoning or Subdivision By-law, the Municipal Plan prevails.
