Planning & Approval Studies
Environmental impact studies, tree and species-at-risk reports, noise and vibration studies and archaeological assessments, coordinated in one package.
Planning & Approval Studies in Ottawa and across Ontario
Municipal site plan, subdivision and rezoning applications often come with a list of required studies. Chasing each consultant separately slows your application down. InAIR coordinates the environmental studies in one package, working with licensed ecologists, acoustic engineers and archaeologists where the work calls for specialist credentials. You get one point of contact, one schedule and consistent reports that answer the planner’s questions the first time.
When you need it
- Site plan, subdivision or rezoning applications with environmental study requirements
- Sites near woodlands, wetlands, watercourses or habitat for species at risk
- Residential development near highways, arterial roads, rail lines or industry
- Undeveloped land that may have archaeological potential
What you receive
- Environmental impact study (EIS) and species at risk screening
- Tree conservation or tree inventory reports
- Environmental noise and vibration studies
- Stage 1 to 4 archaeological assessments through licensed archaeologists
- Coordinated responses to municipal and conservation authority comments
Parts of this service that require specialist licences are delivered with our network of licensed partners. InAIR manages the scope, schedule and reporting, so you have one point of contact.
