With a multidisciplinary ethos, we collaborate with colleagues in-house or external co-consultants to prepare development and environmental masterplans that are responsive to context and deliver on project ambitions.

Our approach seeks to understand and enhance the inherent potential of a site and to weave the future development footprint into the natural or pre-existing grain of the environmental setting, whether that is urban or rural, constrained or sensitive.

We can work with you to identify and understand existing and potential green and blue infrastructure assets which have the capacity to enhance the landscape character, amenity and biodiversity value of your site as well as delivering essential cost-effective infrastructure.

We can provide strategies to either enhance existing, or establish new, green infrastructure and nature recovery networks as part of high-quality proposals that deliver added value to projects.

Biodiversity Net Gain is an approach to development that leaves biodiversity in a better state than before. Where a development has an impact on biodiversity, planning policies require developers to provide an increase in appropriate natural habitat and ecological features over and above that being affected.

We use our multi-disciplinary skills to appraise site biodiversity and provide appropriate Environmental Design solutions for biodiversity enhancements for every project.

Our appraisal and assessment work is the foundation for our Environmental Design process. Initial desk studies and site appraisal provide the evidence basis for designing the appropriate solution.

We have extensive experience in carrying out Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments, in accordance with best practice guidance and for all levels of planning and EIA submissions. Our experience covers a full range of development types and scales, including individual properties, urban expansions, tall buildings and infrastructure elements.

Depending on the site type and context and stage of the planning process, we also undertake Townscape and Visual Impact Assessments; Landscape, Seascape and Visual Impact Assessments; Landscape Character Assessments; Visual Appraisals; and Landscape Appraisals.

Our appraisal and assessment work is the foundation of our Environmental Design process. The initial desk studies and site surveys provide the evidence basis for designing the appropriate solution.

We are experienced in preparing Ecological Impact Assessments in accordance with CIEEM guidelines. Full Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) may be undertaken as a standalone report or can be provided as an integral chapter to an Environmental Statement.

We can draw on the knowledge and expertise gained through the assessment and design process to assist with the preparation of Construction Environmental Management Plans, Landscape and Ecological Management Plans and other such plans that may be required for your project.
