Working in the estates, leisure and heritage sector.
Local Planning Authorities may have particular sensitivities if their area includes Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs), Special Protection Area (SPAs), Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) and/or Ramsar Sites for instance.
Our team at Ecology by Design has substantial experience enabling developers and estate owners to succeed with planning applications, whether this is for site use changes, restoration or extensions. We can help with landscape modifications to improve user experience, recreation, visual amenity, ecotourism and rewilding. We integrate with estate management teams to manage ecology and natural capital across the entire landholding.
We also carry out surveys and assessments to enable the maintenance, restoration and improvement of heritage features such as churches, castles and listed structures.
Finally, we can support the leisure industry develop amenities including cycle path improvements, hotels, festivals, holiday resorts and camp sites.
