“Surfside Environmental accomplished what two other expeditors could not and successfully obtained permits in a very complicated situation that involved wetlands and a lake with potable water. Daphne Vaughan was easy to work with, responsive, and knowledgeable. She knows exactly who to go to for answers and action. She is well respected. Her fees are eminently fair. I would recommend Surfside Environmental to any homeowner looking to renovate or add to their home.”

"I first met Daphne years ago while she was an Environmental Analyst for the Town of Southampton Conservation Board. She was knowledgeable, efficient and helpful. Several years later, upon learning she had formed her own Environmental Planning practice, I retained her as a consultant in development of several waterfront lots. It has been one of my best professional choices. Daphne's knowledge of wetland regulations and issues, familiarity with, and comfort in dealing with governing agencies, along with her ability to advantageously interpret requirements, has been a valuable contribution to the success of those projects. I highly recommend Daphne and Surfside Environmental!”

"Daphne Vaughan from Surfside Environmental Planning is everything you could want in a planning consultant. She's knowledgeable, professional, reliable, fast, and efficient. We used her for the demolition and construction of our waterfront home and reconstruction of our bulkhead and dock. The regulatory and permit process seemed overwhelming, but Daphne Vaughan made it manageable and seamless. When considering a property purchase or development, Surfside Environmental Planning should be the first phone call you make."
Tony L. – Shinnecock Hills
"I have worked with Daphne on a number of projects and she is outstanding! Daphne is extremely diligent, professional and expeditious. Her knowledge of environmental matters and her relationship with the town and state agencies is very deep and she gets situations resolved very fast. She always communicates promptly and prices her services in a fair manner. I would work with her again and can recommend her firm without reservation.”
Gunter F. - Bridgehampton
“Daphne did a wonderful job with our waterfront house. She confirmed our initial ideas, made them better, and made them happen with the town. We had trouble with an uncooperative neighbor and she was instrumental in convincing the town zoning board that our plan was within our rights. She was a true partner with us from the beginning and was instrumental in helping us realize our dream of 35 years. “
Bob J. – North Sea
“We have been working with Surfside Environmental Planning & Daphne Vaughan to help us expedite our inspection process and the town application maze associated with our planned residential building project. We have found her to be very responsive and especially knowledgeable with respect to communication with town personnel and the correct sequence. This has saved us countless hours of work not to mention the frustration had we tried to navigate it alone. Can’t wait to finish the project.”
Tom & Mary Ellen P. – Shinnecock Hills
"Daphne is supremely organized, efficient and on top of everything that she does. She handled my planning appeals with deep understanding, masses of experience, and a diplomacy that I have seldom seen before"
