DELVIN GROUP • Land Development Services

Land Development Services Toronto | Zoning, Severance & Site Planning

Expert land development planning for property owners, investors and developers across Toronto and the GTA. Strategic guidance from feasibility to development applications.

Common Challenges We Help Solve

Early clarity on zoning, development potential and municipal requirements reduces uncertainty and helps property owners make informed decisions before committing to major investments.

Unclear Development Potential

Uncertainty about what can be built, how much density is permitted, or whether a property qualifies for severance can stall decisions and delay investment.

Complex Zoning Regulations

Navigating Toronto and GTA zoning bylaws, official plans and overlay restrictions without professional guidance often leads to costly misunderstandings.

Incomplete Development Applications

Municipal applications require accurate drawings, reports and supporting studies. Missing or inconsistent documentation causes delays and resubmissions.

Delayed Approvals and Approvals Uncertainty

Without proper coordination and early review, projects face extended timelines, unexpected conditions, or rejection at the municipal level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about land development services, zoning analysis, severance applications and municipal processes in Toronto and the GTA.
A feasibility review includes analysis of your property's zoning permissions, official plan policies, site constraints, setback and density limits, and an assessment of what development options may be achievable. We provide a summary of opportunities, potential variances or applications required, and preliminary recommendations based on your goals. This early review helps clarify development potential before significant design or financial commitments are made.
No. Municipal approvals are granted by the City of Toronto or local municipality based on their review of planning policies, zoning regulations, and other factors. We prepare accurate applications, coordinate required studies, and provide clear planning rationale to support your submission, but final decisions rest with the municipality. Our role is to reduce uncertainty, provide strategic guidance, and improve the likelihood of a successful outcome.
A land severance (consent application) divides one property into two or more parcels. A rezoning (zoning bylaw amendment) changes the permitted uses, density or other zoning regulations on a property. Some projects require both. We review your site and goals to determine which applications are needed, what documentation is required, and how to coordinate the submission process.
Timelines vary by municipality and application type. Land severance applications in Toronto typically take several months, while rezoning or site plan approvals can take longer depending on complexity and municipal workload. We provide realistic timeline estimates during the feasibility review and keep you informed throughout the process. Early preparation and complete submissions help reduce delays.
Most development applications require input from other professionals such as surveyors, civil engineers, geotechnical engineers, arborists or professional planners, depending on the project scope and municipal requirements. We coordinate with these consultants, ensure their work integrates with the site plan and application package, and manage the submission process to maintain consistency and completeness.
We provide land development services throughout Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, including municipalities such as Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington and surrounding regions. Our experience with GTA planning processes, zoning bylaws and municipal submission requirements allows us to support projects across the region effectively.
