Landscape Architecture
Planning-ready ecological assessments for development projects — delivered with proportionate methods, clear reasoning and predictable survey timings across the UK.
Before design moves, ecology needs clarity. Whether you’re preparing a planning submission, refining a layout or coordinating works on site, the right evidence keeps your project steady.
Our team helps you see what’s required, when it’s needed, and how to keep progress predictable, not reactive.
What Service Do I Need? (Your Quick Guide)
Most ecological requirements follow clear triggers.
Match your site conditions to the survey most likely to apply.
Landscaping Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA)
When: required when development affects views, landscape character or sensitive receptors.
Purpose: tests visual change and landscape effects for planning.
Timing: start early in design; viewpoints must be agreed before modelling.
3D Landscape Design
When: useful when proposals need clear visual communication for planners or clients.
Purpose: shows layout, materials and planting in realistic 3D form.
Timing: best at concept stage or during pre-application discussions.
Landscaping Schemes
When: needed for applications involving external works, planting or visual mitigation.
Purpose: provides the plans and planting detail that support validation and condition discharge.
Timing: typically required before validation or at early design freeze.

Landscape Architecture FAQs
What is Landscape Architecture?
Planning-led design of external spaces — covering planting, materials, levels, visual impact and landscape integration.
Why Landscape Architecture Matters
LPAs use landscape information to confirm visual fit, planting logic, character, mitigation and how external works integrate with trees, levels and drainage.
