We at Planscape understand the need for a varied and wide range of expertise to facilitate complex projects, particularly in waterfront resort development in the Muskoka area. Over the past 20 years we have worked closely with various professionals (biologists, ecologists, architects, engineers, landscape architects, archaeologists, surveyors, etc.) and are well known for our ability to manage complicated projects in a timely manner.

Planscape has been involved in the successful completion of many subdivision and condominium developments, with special attention to the physical design of neighbourhoods and the creative application of integrated urban design principles. Our approach is dependent upon tried and true planning and design principles and we have a sound knowledge of the regulatory environment. We specialize in building and managing effective teams to support development, and in developing close working relationships with our clients.

An important component of our professional planning service is assisting private waterfront and rural landowners in the development or redevelopment of their property. This requires a thorough review of relevant planning documents and attention to detailed and complicated environmental policies, as well as attention to the maintenance of the natural character and environmental integrity of properties. Some of our clients include property owners under the Development Permit system. After reviewing the applicable planning documents, we provide a clear and simplified approach necessary to attain the individual owner’s goals. Given the increasing complexity of planning documents and more stringent requirements, it is important to provide a professional opinion that is detailed and understandable.

Planscape understands the need for clear and concise options for landowners when deciding how to develop their property.
