What are unassumed subdivisions?

Unassumed subdivisions are developer-maintained subdivisions currently managed by the land developer. These areas experience construction activity related to both home development, undertaken by home builders, and necessary infrastructure, as set out by the municipality.

In these areas, you might see unfinished sidewalks and curbs, homes under construction, limited landscaping, vacant lots and blocks that may be undeveloped or blocks that contain stockpile of dirt for an extended period of time.

The development of a developer-maintained subdivision is governed by a Subdivision Agreement between the developer and the City of London. This agreement details the responsibilities of each party and outlines the conditions that must be met before the City assumes full control of the subdivision.
