Heritage Landscapes
The team has specialist experience in designing heritage sensitive sites. Projects have included assessing listed assets and working with clients to achieve successful and sympathetic outcomes for future developments within the context of historic landscape settings.
Recent projects have included the Landscape Design team working with our other internal teams to produce overarching schemes that respond to heritage landscape on all levels.
We have particular experience working with historic landscape parks by Humphrey Repton and Capability Brown, assessing existing sites and producing strategic landscape masterplans for the restoration of heritage landscapes.

Our Services
Design of heritage-sensitive sites
We create carefully considered design solutions for heritage‑sensitive sites, ensuring new interventions respect the historical significance, setting and character of the landscape. Our approach balances conservation priorities with contemporary needs, delivering schemes that enhance heritage value while supporting long‑term, sustainable use.
Listed assets assessments
Our team provides thorough assessments for listed buildings and heritage assets, evaluating their setting, sensitivity and capacity for change. These assessments support informed planning decisions and help guide development that preserves historic significance while enabling appropriate and considered adaptation.
Historic landscape parks
We work with historic landscape parks to conserve, restore and sensitively evolve these culturally significant environments. Through research‑led analysis, management planning and strategic design, we help safeguard characterful features, reinforce landscape structure and create resilient landscapes that honour their historic origins.
Landscape design
Our landscape design services encompass concept development through to detailed technical specification, delivering high‑quality, functional and visually engaging landscapes. We focus on place‑making, biodiversity enhancement, user experience and long‑term management to ensure every scheme performs environmentally and socially.
Strategic landscape masterplans
We develop strategic landscape masterplans that shape coherent, landscape‑led frameworks for development at all scales. Our masterplans respond to landscape character, site constraints, ecology, heritage and movement patterns to create integrated, future‑ready environments that support sustainable growth and meaningful place identity.
By involving the full landscape design team, we create a holistic approach that considers every detail, resulting in a landscape that is cohesive, sustainable and aesthetically stunning. With our collaborative efforts, we can transform your outdoor space into a work of art that exceeds your expectations and provides long-lasting enjoyment. Trust our full landscape design team to bring their passion and dedication to every aspect of your project, delivering exceptional results that stand the test of time.
