A "Municipal Consent" is an approval of a comprehensive Road Occupancy Permit submission. This involves a formal drawing submission for the placement of apparatus within York Region's road allowance which has been approved by York Region's Utility Plans Co-ordinator. When work requires an excavation within the regional Road right of way, or the work is for the placement of additional utility infrastructure, approval for this work is granted by a Municipal Consent. With the exception of Emergency Work, no excavation shall commence on a Regional Right of Way before the issuance of a Municipal Consent by the Region.
