NPV has served as the Village Environmental and Planning Consultant for the Village of Southampton since 2006.  In this role, NPV provides day to day consulting services for each of the Village boards including application review, coastal and wetland permit review, wetland delineation, and SEQRA review and administration.   Day to review of applications includes plan review, review of stormwater pollution prevention plans for site development, coordination with applicants and involved departments/agencies, preparation of resolutions and permits, and presentation of project reviews and reports to the Village Boards.
