The client
Overview
The scheme was a large housing development comprising of 460 houses and a high proportion of Public Open Space (POS) including amenity space, play areas and an extensive Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) network.
A large amount of existing vegetation was proposed for retention within the site providing an existing green infrastructure across the site and forming a mature foundation for the new development.
The results
- Ecus produced detailed landscape designs for the entire site including the residential plots, public open space, play areas and SuDS planting.
- A Landscape, Ecological and Woodland Management Plan (LEWMP) was produced with input from Ecus landscape, arboriculture and ecology teams to ensure that the existing and proposed vegetation has a comprehensive plan for its management going forward.
