Lots and Blocks on a Plan of Subdivision

Hi Richard;

Lots and Blocks are designations of land ownership that developers use to parcel land on a Plan of Subdivision. The other designation is Public Highways which includes roads, lane ways and even walkways.

Practically speaking, lots are used to identify the more regular parcels of land that will be developed and sold, most often as residential properties. Blocks are used to identify excessively small portions of land such as reserves and road widenings, and excessively large portions of land such as school blocks or areas reserved for future development.
