We are a specialist environmental design consultancy with a long-standing track record in the leisure sector and expertise working on new lodge, static, touring and glamping parks across the UK alongside the upgrading and extension of existing sites. Over the past decade, we have delivered over 120 parks across the entire country.
We bring together a holistic site design with landscape design, surface water management and ecology into one fully integrated studio. What makes us different is that we think and work as one team to create commercially successful, environmentally responsible and technically robust developments.
Our work often takes us into a wide range of sensitive landscapes including Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and National Parks in England, Scotland and Wales.
Our site layout, ecology and sustainable drainage designs, which embrace nature, support planning applications and achieve high quality holiday destinations fit for the changing needs of the domestic leisure sector.
Our approach is always design-led, technically precise and environmentally intelligent.
We believe successful park development comes from integration, not isolated reports.
Our projects are delivered collaboratively across all three of our disciplines, ensuring:
From early feasibility to construction, we provide clear strategy and technical confidence at every stage.
We offer a full park design service that delivers concept layouts through to technical delivery of parks on the ground.
Our full design service includes the laying out of the park pitches and roads, surface water drainage strategies, flood risk advice, hard and soft works design of all external spaces alongside a specialism in landscape assessments (including Landscape Appraisals, Townscape Assessments and Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments).
We provide a full ecology surveying and Biodiversity Net Gain in England and Net Benefit for Biodiversity in Wales, assessment service with further specialisms in Bats, Badgers and Great Crested Newts. In detail our services include:
