How Our Landscape Architects Can Help

At Lizard Landscape Design and Ecology, we provide full support throughout the entire landscape development process. Our expert landscape architects are here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring that your project aligns with environmental standards and planning regulations.

How Our Landscape Architects Can Help

We begin with landscape appraisals to assess the potential of your site, identifying key environmental and visual factors that could influence the development. This early-stage assessment helps shape the project to complement its surroundings. Our Landscape Capacity Studies then determine how much change a site can handle while maintaining its visual and ecological integrity, guiding informed decisions for minimal impact.

Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments (LVIA)

We conduct Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments (LVIA) to evaluate how your development will interact with the environment. Our assessments identify potential impacts and offer mitigation strategies, ensuring that the project fits harmoniously within its landscape, both in the short and long term.

Environmental Issue Mitigation and EIA Coordination

Our landscape architects advise on mitigating environmental concerns, such as protecting wildlife and managing water resources. We coordinate Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) to evaluate broader effects like air quality, biodiversity, and water runoff, ensuring your project complies with environmental regulations and addresses any potential harm.

Green Infrastructure Strategies and Expert Witness Services

We develop Green Infrastructure Strategies that incorporate sustainable features like green spaces and wildlife corridors to enhance biodiversity and reduce pollution. If required, our team also provides expert witness services during planning hearings to represent your project and ensure it aligns with planning regulations.

Whole Estate Landscape Planning Services

Lizard can provide Whole Estate Plan (WEP) services for individual land owning organisations within the South Downs National Park (SDNP), which help to inform how estates can adapt and develop into the future for the landowner, the estate, the community and the National Park Authority.
