Planning Services
Planning Approvals
We have experience in various forms of development approvals, including low, mid and high-rise residential development, and industrial and commercial developments.
​
We coordinate the application and approvals process on behalf of the landowner using our strong organization, facilitation and communication skills as project managers. We liaise with the municipality, consulting team, and landowner to prepare applications, follow up on circulations, and ultimately address any comments and obtain final approvals. Where possible, applications are filed concurrently to aid in review timelines.
Planning Applications
We successfully manage applications including but not limited to:
-
Municipal Official Plan Amendment (including drafting of new policies)
-
Zoning By-law Amendment (including drafting of zoning by-laws)
-
Site Plan
-
Consent
-
Minor Variance
-
Draft Plan of Subdivision
-
Draft Plan of Condominium
In addition, we review, provide input, and finalize any relevant agreements, and work with the landowner to carry out conditions of approval as outlined in various development agreements.

We review the surrounding context of the site, the relevant policy and guidelines applicable to the lands and stay current on the ever-changing regulatory framework
