Abstract

This Chapter of the New Hampshire Revised Statutes concerns integrated land development permit. It is intended to establish an integrated land development permit option that may be sought, at the discretion of the applicant, as an alternative to seeking one or more individual land development permits or approvals issued by the department of environmental services; provide a coordinated approach and holistic perspective in regulating land development activities to protect the quality and functions of New Hampshire's natural environment; establish an alternative project review and permitting process to improve communication and coordination between multiple organizations and entities involved in the permitting of proposed projects; establish a structured pre-application process to provide enhanced guidance earlier in the project design process to facilitate compliance and improved environmental performance; encourage and facilitate implementation of environmentally superior projects; recognize that the degree of relatedness of the affected programs presents a unique opportunity to achieve efficiencies and savings that are not possible to achieve by similar means within the other programs administered by the department.
