Planting Plans

What are they?

Local authorities are now asking for Planting Plans to be submitted alongside planning applications. This is particularly relevant if development works are being completed and will affect the landscape.

Planting Plans are a scaled top down plan, detailing the areas that will have planting in them. It will also identify the types of plant that will be planted there. This can be tailored for applications including housing extensions, new builds and housing development schemes.

Development sites may be required to compensate for any trees or hedgerows that are due to be removed. Biodiversity is a priority for your local authority and should be considered throughout the project.

Planting plans will provide you with the common and latin name of the plant. It should also specify the size, planting density and indicate the plants position. This is ideal for managing a landscape project, giving you a guide to use and compare against.

What’s the process?

Initially, our experts will contact you to discuss the project in detail and go through your requirements. This will also give them the opportunity to advise on any specific aspects that may be required as part of the plan. They will also identify any requirements for the planning application, and to take any photographs or measurements of the existing site.

The Planting Plan will then be put together, including details of the common and botanical name of each plant, the size of each plant and any planting densities. Our consultants will stay in touch with you throughout the process, ensuring that the end result matches your requirements exactly.

Upon completion, you will receive a digital pack in the form of a PDF which can be incorporated into your planning application.
