Unite St Vincents

We’re working with Unite Students, Bowmer & Kirkland and HCD Architects to deliver the redevelopment of St Vincents Church. We have been involved from the outset providing Tree Survey and Ecology services, and subsequently a landscape concept for private student coutyards and a public square adjacent to the church.

Following a successful planning application we have developed detailed construction and planting information and a public art strategy. The project is now progressing very quickly onsite.

The public courtyard will be flanked by a line of semi-mature trees and shrub beds will provide a buffer to the adjacent development while the significant level changes have provided an opportunity to create terraces of informal seating.

Holywell Road

We were instructed by independent, local house builder Campbell Homes to provide a cost-effective hard and soft landscape scheme for the development of this site at Wincobank in Sheffield. Working alongside Self Architects we focused on providing a robust scheme which would be sufficient for Sheffield City Council’s officers to allow the discharge of planning conditions.

The development makes good use of an industrial brownfield site by providing fourteen additional family houses for the Grimethorpe and Wincobank area.

The landscape proposals enhance the setting of the development and provide amenity for both residents and the general public through boundary tree planting, formal hedgerows and structural shrub planting.

Wood End Farm

We worked with JVN Architecture to develop a residential scheme which was sensitive to its landscape, visual and ecological context. Our work included a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment, Tree and Ecology Surveys and Landscape Masterplanning.

Despite the scheme including a significant wildlife corridor along the A57, it was refused at Planning Committee. Bassetlaw District Council felt that the scheme would result in coalescence between Shireoaks and Worksop. The refusal was appealed and working with DLP Planning Consultants the Appeal has now been allowed. The whole process took 12 months.
