Luxury custom homes in Bowmanville
Bowmanville is the largest community in Clarington, with a historic downtown along King Street, older neighbourhoods full of mature trees, and newer areas growing on its edges. Bowmanville Creek and Soper Creek run through town in wooded valleys.
Those valleys and old streets are a big part of the town's character, and they shape what you can build. We look at your lot closely before design, so the house fits both the rules and the street.

What building in Bowmanville involves
A lot near Bowmanville Creek or Soper Creek may be regulated by the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA), which means a permit from them before the building permit. Valley lots can be beautiful places to build, but the setback from the top of the slope often decides where the house can sit.
On older streets, zoning controls the size, height and setbacks of a new home, and mature trees and drainage need care. Building permits come from the Municipality of Clarington. We check all of this up front.

My project started before the pandemic. Work was about 30% complete and going well. The pandemic hit me a bit financially which stressed me out about the project. The Henley team helped reverse engineer and descope some of the project to suit my new affordability. They handled this with class and professionalism which im sure created extra work for them. Communication was excellent and finished product is fantastic. I will never work with or recommend another contractor again
QUESTIONSBOWMANVILLE, ON
Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer? Tell us about your project and ask us directly.
Can I build on a ravine lot in Bowmanville?
Often, yes, but CLOCA will usually need to review the plans, and there is typically a setback from the top of the slope. We check this first so the house is placed where it can be approved.
Who issues building permits in Bowmanville?
The Municipality of Clarington. We prepare the drawings and manage the application.
Do you build in the older parts of town?
Yes. Many of our projects replace an older home on an existing lot, designed to suit the street and the zoning.
