Landscape design, assessment and planning advice for private, commercial and development projects of every scale.
01
Landscape design
Design is the core of the practice. We create landscapes that belong to their setting, serve the people who use them and can be built and maintained as intended. Each scheme is developed in close consultation with the client, from first ideas through to the detail needed to build it.
Gardens and private grounds
Considered designs for homes of every size, from a new garden layout to the wider setting of a country property.
Rural land and estates
Planting, woodland, boundaries and access for farms, estates and rural property, rooted in local landscape character.
Commercial and community spaces
Welcoming, practical landscapes for workplaces, hospitality venues, schools and community buildings.
Residential development
Landscape strategies, masterplans and detailed proposals for new homes, from a single plot to larger schemes.
- Concept designs and landscape masterplans
- Hard and soft landscape proposals
- Planting design, plans and schedules
- Drawings and details for planning and construction
02
Landscape and visual assessment (LVIA and LVA)
Landscape and visual assessment for planning applications of every scale, from a proportionate appraisal for a single dwelling to a full impact assessment for major and EIA development.
Our assessments are clear, impartial and prepared in accordance with GLVIA3, giving decision-makers the evidence they need and clients a report that withstands scrutiny.
03
Planning advice and conditions
Clear, practical advice at the stage where it makes the greatest difference, informed by first-hand experience of how planning authorities assess applications and enforce conditions.
- Pre-application advice on landscape constraints and opportunities
- Landscape input and responses during determination
- Details to discharge landscape conditions
- Guidance on implementing approved schemes and remaining compliant
04
Independent review
A structured, independent review of an LVIA, LVA or set of landscape proposals, setting out plainly where the evidence is robust and where it falls short.
