Enhancements.
To enhance and conserve, we currently prepare ecology reports. We also do landscape and ecology management plans. We work on a variety of landscape planning projects. They include drawing up Landscape and amenity management plans, and Construction environmental management plans. This advice on your project will comply with the latest BS 42020:2013 Biodiversity;

Green infrastructure is part of the work we do. According to the latest NPPF, 2018 (revised July 2018) green infrastructure will need to be enhanced. There will need to be more than just “no net loss”. Landvision can advise you on how to link and conserve your green infrastructure.
Our professional affiliations
We understand the needs of the developer as we have 32 years experience in landscape planning. We are fully qualified members of the Landscape Institute, The Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management. Our landscape planners are well qualified and undertake regular CPD training. This enables us to work to the highest industry standards on your development.
Expert Witness- Landscape
We produced “comprehensive and detailed” landscape expert witness LVIA evidence for Public Inquiries and informal hearings. Having appeared as expert witness for landscape for private and corporate applications with successful outcomes for our clients, Local planning Authorities, Blue Chip and other commercial clients as well as individuals private clients.
Landscape character
We believe that the landscape character should be an integral part of any development. If considered carefully and with the use of effective landscape planning, a sensitive development can even improve the visual amenity value and landscape character of an area. Green spaces are important parts of landscape character.
We will strive to protect important landscape features, whether these be of historical value, cultural value, aesthetic or amenity value.
Thus our work will be contributing to the setting and overall landscape character of an area. We appreciate that it is these features that give a town, village, or area a distinct identity and that your development will be given planning permission if it contributes in a positive way towards building a rich and varied landscape.
Thus, we will draw up planning applications to reflect key characteristics of and conserve sensitive locations such as National Parks, and AONBs, using sympathetic design. Landscape Character is an important consideration in landscape planning; at Landvision, we bring specialist training in ecology and in Landscape Character Assessment (LCA) and use this expertise for all your new projects.
