Critical Insight

We advise on land use and interpret the regulations and policies that govern it. We also provide master planning, concept development, mapping, geographical information system services, and studies to facilitate ongoing operations and to accommodate growth. JLR’s Planners help clients to understand all the options available and determine the most effective way to make use of a site.


Private Sector


We support private sector development by conducting feasibility studies, preparing concept plans, and leading clients through complex municipal approval processes. Our skilled team also has the experience to assess existing land uses, determine development options, and obtain input from key community stakeholders to provide comprehensive evaluations of options for development.

Public Sector


We have worked with numerous municipalities across Ontario to assess existing land uses, determine development options, and obtain input from key community stakeholders to provide comprehensive evaluations of options for development. Our experienced team easily navigates with background studies, community improvement plans, official plans, zoning by-laws, reviews of development charges, and community benefit by-laws.
