Environmental & Planning Medation

Environmental and Planning issues are usually resolved amicably. But sometimes, bitter battles leave in their wake sore losers and bruised victors. Major developers and local authorities can afford powerful teams of experts. The community can feel excluded if they can't muster similar resources.

Dig deeper and you may find mistrust between developers, the community and the planning authority.

Mediation replaces confrontation with dialogue. It improves understanding from the outset and builds consensus. An independent trained mediator brings all the interested parties together. They then explore, in complete confidence, the possibility of reaching an agreement that everyone can live with.
