land subdivision
Explanation:
For US English:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subdivision_(land)

The SCPEA included the following definition:

“Subdivision” means the division of a lot, tract, or parcel of land into two or more lots, plats, sites, or other divisions of land for the purpose, whether immediate or future, of sale or of building development. It includes resubdivision and, when appropriate to the context, relates to the process of subdividing or to the land or territory subdivided.[2]:6

Attached to this definition was the following footnote:

for the purpose of sale or of building development: Every division of a piece of land into two or more lots, parcels or parts is, of course, a subdivision. The intention is to cover all subdivision of land where the immediate or ultimate purpose is that of selling the lots or building on them. The object of inserting a definition in the text of the act is to avoid the inclusion, within the planning commission's control, of such cases as a testator's dividing his property amongst his children, partners' dividing firm property amongst themselves on dissolution, or cases of that nature.

disagree  jack_speak: Zoning determines what activities can be undertaken on a piece of property. This is unrelated to subdivision of lots, which the question seems to involve. Not very helpful at all.
