Minor variances, severances& infill approvals secured.
Minor variances and severances are part of our end-to-end planning practice. We assess site feasibility, prepare planning rationale and navigate municipal requirements for custom homes, multiplexes, garden suites, laneway houses and infill projects across the GTA and Ontario.
Four tests. One hearing. No second chances.
Is the variance minor?
Is it desirable for the appropriate development of the land?
Does it maintain the intent of the Official Plan?
