Consulting Experience & Expertise
Pound & Stewart Planning is able to serve the needs of a diverse clientele base, ranging in service from land use planning to project management. We offer a broad base of consulting services ranging from policy planning to detailed site design.
Our level of involvement is strictly tailored to service your needs. Please feel free to inquire about how we may assist you, your group, or your company, regarding land use planning needs.
Our planning activity is primarily located within the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Clients from the City of Toronto and the surrounding growth regions, including York, Peel, Halton and Durham will attest that there are advantages in retaining a firm which has well familiarized itself with its planning environment. Our professional planning services involve preliminary planning and development feasibility analysis, official plan-zoning amendment/application(s), and minor variance application(s), for example. We also provide expert testimony regarding planning projects at the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal (LPAT), formerly known as the Ontario Municipal Board.
While the majority of our services are provided within the Greater Golden Horseshoe, we have worked on projects all across Southern Ontario. Our firm has also provided professional services in the United States and Europe as well.

Our client has had access to CITYPLAN PORTAL since its inception and it is a valued planning tool in understanding the complex layers of planning policies that apply to its landholdings. This program displays planning policies from upper and lower tier municipalities in a convenient, creative and accessible format.
