We prepare detailed landscape management plans that align with BS 42020 biodiversity standards and NPPF requirements. Our expert witness testimony supports clients during public inquiries, ensuring developments maintain landscape character while securing planning permissions.
Ecology Surveys
We conduct comprehensive ecology surveys including Preliminary Ecological Appraisals and Biodiversity Net Gain assessments. Our team produces BREEAM-compliant reports and species-specific surveys for protected animals. These assessments inform development strategies that enhance ecosystem services while meeting regulatory requirements for habitats and wildlife conservation.
Arboriculture
Our arboriculture services include BS 5837:2012 tree surveys, Tree Preservation Order advice, and woodland management plans. We provide expert guidance on tree health, replacement planting strategies, and sustainable drainage solutions. Our integrated approach ensures tree protection during development while maintaining compliance with local authority requirements.
Landscape Design
We create sustainable landscape designs featuring low-maintenance planting schemes and climate-resilient tree species. Our designs incorporate green infrastructure elements like Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems and tactile sensory gardens. Each scheme balances aesthetic value with ecological function, enhancing biodiversity while meeting client-specific requirements for urban and brownfield sites.
Urban Design
Our urban design services focus on integrating green spaces within built environments. We develop masterplans that enhance urban biodiversity through strategic tree planting and habitat creation. Our solutions address climate change mitigation through increased tree cover and sustainable drainage systems while creating functional public spaces that improve community well-being.
