Land Use Planning for Rural Ontario.
We have an unsurpassed knowledge of the zoning by-laws and Official Plans in force in Chatham-Kent and Lakeshore, having written more than 2,500 Planning reports for the Municipality of Chatham-Kent since its amalgamation in 1998 and several hundred Planning reports for the Town of Lakeshore since 2005.
SSPL has produced and continues to develop leading-edge policies and studies for rural Ontario, such as the Ridge Landfill expansion, Erie Shore Drive shoreline study, new agricultural consent policies, nutrient management study and policies, greenhouse policies/zoning by-law, new Minimum Distance Separation (MDS) regulations, and most recently wind farm and other renewable energy policies and reports.
We were very proud to have been recognized as a “Friend of Agriculture” at the 70th Annual Rural-Urban Awards Dinner in 2016. As the presenter noted, most major rural Land-Use Planning decisions in the last thirty years have come across our desks.
A giant greenhouse? A new implement shed? A bunkhouse for seasonal workers? No matter what you’re building or where you’re building it, SSPL has the knowledge and expertise to get your shovels in the ground sooner.
What Our Farm Clients Are Saying
“With their wealth of experience, David and Tom ‘get things done’. I return to them time and again when my farm clients want a severance completed efficiently.”

“I simply couldn’t imagine navigating the complex minefield of severances SSPL has helped me with on my own. Over the last seven years they made an intimidating process simple.”
