Parking and driveway conditions
London’s Additional Residential Units page says no additional parking is required and additional driveways to serve an ARU are not permitted. These are separate rules: the parking provision does not authorize a new driveway. Confirm that the current zoning and project configuration fit the applicable rules, especially if other site or building conditions apply. A rule about the number of spaces does not determine whether an existing driveway is legal, whether it can safely serve the site, or whether a separate access review is needed.
The City page also describes temporary Interim Control By-law conditions. Check the current bylaw and the property’s location before relying on a general summary: a temporary control or later amendment may change what applies to an application.
Servicing and drainage remain site questions
London says services must accommodate the increased development. Check water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater arrangements with the appropriate City or utility reviewers, and do not assume an existing connection has capacity for the additional unit. The page also says drainage patterns must be maintained; a detached ARU should not be placed in a swale or overland flow route, and a grading plan may be required.
Before settling a site layout, collect the survey, grading and drainage information, location of existing services, and any easements or utility records. Ask the City whether a grading plan or additional servicing information is required for the specific proposal. A parking exemption does not waive drainage, servicing, building, or fire review.
Use the City’s current ARU page and applicable bylaw for the address and application date. It provides a municipal screening path, not a finding that the site can accommodate a unit. For the general parking and service questions, see parking requirements and waivers and water, sewer, stormwater, and drainage checks.
