This is a fast-growing and evolving sector and we are working with a number of leisure sites across the country, often in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) or in National Parks.
Our detailed Landscape and Visual Appraisal work, which sets out the landscape context and character of a site, and our layout 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.
We have a reputation for delivering numerous successful outcomes for our clients including major chalet developments, glamping sites, touring sites and outdoor eating venues.
We provide a full range of services from landscape assessments, full design and layout services, sustainable drainage designs, foul drainage assessments and SAB applications, appeals and expert witness work.
We have played a pivotal role in the expansion of the development over the years and our work has supported multiple planning applications. This has included landscape design, civil engineering and ecology work to make the best use of the layout of the site to suit its topography, drainage requirements and usage.
Our landscape architects worked alongside our ecologists to develop a robust planting scheme for this coastal setting.
Our work for Halen Mon integrated a pop-up restaurant and an outdoor garden, strategically positioned to showcase its spectacular views over the Menai Straits.
We completed a scheme with Forestry England on a brand-new visitor welcome centre at Delamere Forest in Cheshire, the county’s largest area of woodland and a popular destination which welcomes over 750,000 visitors a year.
We recently worked on a holiday park in North Wales to put together a strong submission, including a robust landscape impact assessment and a layout design with a range of environmental improvements, including nature corridors with woodlands and mixed native hedgerows, which helped to win consent within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
