LAN is pleased to announce that we are now featuring Land Use Regulations as a new area of business development directed by Chris Guddemi. Land Use Regulation services include wetlands, stream encroachment, flood hazard areas, coastal permitting and similar types of services for programs generally covered under the NJDEP’s Land Use Regulation program as well as similar DEP, local and other jurisdictional programs.
Do regulated areas exist on my project site? How are the limits of regulated areas defined? Is my proposed project a regulated activity?
Understanding whether or not land use restrictions encumber a project site is imperative to maintaining an accurate project schedule and budget. Our design philosophy is to determine the presence or absence of regulated areas during the initial planning and conceptual design phase. Identifying the boundaries of these areas and promptly evaluating potential permitting requirements is vital to avoiding project delays and unanticipated costs. Our environmental and land use services ensure that the site is capable of sustaining the proposed development in accordance with applicable regulations.
