What are Planting Plans?

If a project in Staffordshire is being carried out on a domestic or commercial property that will affect the surrounding area, local authorities are now often found to be asking for planting plans to go alongside the rest of the planning application.

A planting plan is a top down plan of the project, showing all areas that will be planted in and the types of plants that will be planted there.

Outdoor spaces are the first sight individuals get when visiting any property and can make a big impression. Development sites may also be required to compensate for any trees or hedges that have been removed in order to carry out the development. Planting plans can vary depending on our clients and the site, therefore we offer a bespoke service for every client.

With our expert knowledge we can design a bespoke planting plan for any property or land in the Staffordshire area! Our specialist consultant will conduct a site survey, where you will discuss the specifications for the site. Based on this site survey we can then design planting schemes to suit the sites requirements.

The site may be an individual new build where numerous trees would have to be removed to develop the site. However, as part of the planning application process it is essential to give back to the environment by planting new trees. We can therefore design a planting plan that not only complies with the planning application requirements but also fits with the existing environment and surrounding trees.

Another aspect could be to design planting plans for housing development schemes within Staffordshire. This could be part of a larger landscaping plan package, providing a planting plan that focuses on providing colour and interest throughout year, rather than replacing trees.
