DA are landscape led with key supporting Environmental Services, these include Arboriculture, Ecology, Soil Science and 3D Graphic Presentation.
We also instruct topographic surveys.

Landscape Planning

  • Appeal – expert witness – 3D presentation – photomontage
  • Design & Access  Statements – detailed applications - masterplanning
  • Landscape impact assessment – visual/ character studies – mitigation
  • Specialist surveys – trees – protected species – soils
  • Third Party Negotiations – EA, CABE, NT, Natural England, English Heritage – user groups – civic societies, wildlife trusts, governors board – public consultation at pre-application stage
  • Environmental Law – Town & Country Planning Act,  PPG/ PPS guidance, NPPF guidance

 

Landscape Design

  • Private gardens – appraisal – sketch scheme – budget costings
  • Detailed design – detailed specification – project management
  • Urban design – public realm – environmental improvements
  • Design & Build – contractors packages – health & safety works

 

Landscape Management

  • Historic properties – listed building/ garden improvements
  • Refurbishment works – survey for EH funding – restoration works
  • Estate management – strategy and improvements programming

 

Arboricultural Reports

  • Tree condition surveys – BS 5837.2012 – development constraints plan
  • Arboricultural Method Statements – impact + special tree protection
  • Woodland management plans – habitat protection – enabling treeworks

 

Ecological Reports

  • Protected species surveys – Level 1 studies – detailed surveys
  • Ecological Method Statements – special habitat/ species protection
  • Habitat Mitigation Management Plan – NE licence – planning/ biodiversity conservation works
  • Ecological assessments undertaken – BREEAM, CfSH

 

Soil Studies/Agronomy

  • Soil surveys - site appraisal – laboratory analysis, evaluation
  • Soil improvements – detailed specification – ‘special needs’ profiling
  • Soiling Method Statements –site groundworks - SUDS drainage

 

3D Graphics

  • Perspectives – 3D ‘walk through’
  • Photomontage – before & after visualisation
  • Verified views – special presentation for appeal / public exhibition
  • BIM - project budgeting / detailed design development
