Planning Justification Reports

Planning Justification Reports in Orillia, Barrie, Muskoka, Collingwood & Surrounding Areas

Many development applications require more than forms and drawings. Municipalities often request a Planning Justification Report (PJR) to explain how a proposed project aligns with planning policy, supports appropriate land use, and fits within the surrounding community.

MORGAN Planning & Development prepares professional Planning Justification Reports for projects across Orillia, Barrie, Muskoka, Collingwood, and surrounding Simcoe County communities. These reports provide a clear, policy-based rationale that supports planning applications and helps decision-makers understand the merits of a proposal.

What Is a Planning Justification Report?

A Planning Justification Report is a formal document submitted as part of a development application to explain how a proposal complies with, or appropriately responds to, applicable planning policies and regulations.

Municipalities may require a PJR to support applications such as:

  • Zoning By-Law Amendments

  • Official Plan Amendments

  • Draft plan of subdivision applications

  • Condominium developments

  • Minor variances in certain situations

  • Larger or more complex development proposals

The report outlines how the proposed development aligns with provincial policy, municipal planning documents, and land use objectives, helping to support informed decision-making during the review process.

Supporting Applications Across Simcoe & Muskoka

We prepare Planning Justification Reports for projects located throughout Orillia, Barrie, Muskoka, Collingwood, and surrounding municipalities across the Simcoe region. Our familiarity with local planning policies, growth strategies, and review processes helps ensure that each report reflects the expectations of the municipality reviewing the application.

Because policy interpretation can vary from one community to another, locally informed planning analysis can help strengthen an application and support more productive discussions with municipal staff.
