Expertise

Anna Preddy is regularly involved in projects at masterplanning and planning stages and has helped to deliver a variety of successful projects across a range of sizes and sectors, including higher education and residential. Her skill-set extends to supervision of landscape implementation and aftercare stages.

Anna Preddy is acutely aware of the ways in which her landscape architecture skills can have positive outcomes for project end-users and clients. Each new scheme provides an opportunity to make a positive impact and Anna aims to maximise that potential through her work. She finds that contributing to schemes where there is emphasis on team and client collaboration to reach the most appropriate landscape design solutions for the location and the brief are the most satisfying and often the most successful.

Project Experience

Anna has been involved with numerous projects for a long-term client, Bath Spa University at Newton Park Campus, a Grade II* Registered Park and Garden. These include planning, tender and construction stage input for improvement works to the front of Main House (Grade I Listed), and more recently contributing to a masterplanning process, working alongside planning, ecology, heritage and transport consultants to test the capacity of the campus for new teaching and accommodation facilities.

Anna also has experience of large-scale residential developments, including a multi-phase development of 2000 new homes at a former airfield on the edge of the Cotswold National Landscape.  Over the course of her long-term involvement, Anna was involved in the preparation of multiple reserved matters planning applications, tender documentation and management plans for the Public Open Space elements of the scheme.  Anna’s involvement in the creation of a new neighbourhood to the north of Stevenage focussed on the reserved matters consented design of a 38 hectare Country Park. The design of the park, created to meet the needs of existing and new neighbourhoods, is located within a Conservation Area. The design was strongly influenced by this heritage context and included the reinstatement of former field boundaries and return of much of the open space to hay meadows.

Preparation of Landscape and Visual Assessments for various developments across the south of England is also a core part of Anna’s professional experience. She has prepared LVIA as standalone assessments and also to inform Environmental Impact Assessments. Assessed schemes range from residential and infrastructure, including a road improvement scheme, as part of the team taking the project through Stage One and Two of the Department for Transport’s (DfT) ‘Transport Appraisal Process’.

Anna also has construction stage experience as a Landscape Clerk of Works on behalf of the Environment Agency.
