A leading land use consulting firm in Simcoe County
We specialize in achieving land use approvals through a comprehensive understanding of planning policy, effective communication with stakeholders, and strong project management skills.
Minor Variances
A minor variance is an approval required when a proposed change does not conform exactly to a zoning by-law, but is deemed to be minor in nature and in accordance with its general intent.
Subdivisions
Our approach to Plans of Subdivision relies on our ability to navigate regulatory frameworks and work closely with fellow consultants and approval authorities.
Site Plans
MP&D prepares site plan drawings defined by their attention to detail, their clear and cohesive physical design, and their ability to achieve approvals.

Keeping your best interest in mind
Our Approach
Whether we are representing a municipality, a community organization, an independent property owner, or an experienced developer, we approach each project from a practical perspective with the best interests of the client and the community in mind.
Each project begins with a thorough review of the guiding documents which govern development in Ontario, followed by an analysis of the current designations and zoning by-laws. From this point we hold pre-consultations with the approval authorities to discuss options and establish an action plan.
From pre-consultation to the implementation of final planning and development approvals, we provide particular expertise in project management, facilitation, negotiation, and the development of communication strategies.
