An Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) is a high level statutory land-use plan prepared collaboratively between two (or more) municipalities. IDPs provide land use and development policy direction for lands of mutual importance, agreed to and adopted through matching municipal bylaws.
A Municipal Development Plan (MDP) is a key policy plan that communicates the long term desired land use in the Village of Berwyn. It is a high-level blueprint that shows how the Town is expected to change over time and the shape it will take in the future. Much like a blueprint that guides the construction of a house, an MDP helps many decision makers collectively build their shared and desired physical setting. The resource that is being managed is the land base that is occupied by all members of the Town. This land base is typically limited and is expected to accommodate many activities and functions.
