Landscape Planning and Design

Our specialist Landscape team offers design, planning and management expertise for projects in every sector across the UK.

Our practical knowledge of the design and implementation process enables us to deliver schemes that balance economic constraints and timescale, optimising any given site’s potential to create safe, attractive and climate-resilient environments.

We have extensive experience of promoting land for development through the development plan process. Our advice on landscape and visual matters supports schemes from the outset, spanning everything from pre-acquisition appraisals to the completion of townscape, landscape and visual impact assessments.

Our chartered landscape architects are rigorous in their application of assessment methodology and the use of photomontages to ensure robust material is presented to our clients and planning authorities. In addition, our in-house team includes skilled arboriculturalists, ensuring we can support all your landscape planning and design requirements.

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do, and we are PAS 2080 accredited and integrate carbon management as part of our solutions.
