LANDSCAPE PLANNING
Landscape and setting are important considerations in getting planning consent.
We work with landowners, developers, design and build contractors, local authorities, and other institutions to achieve successful planning outcomes. We have worked on historic and listed sites, and are also familiar with the special processes required for Church of England land.
