I am a chartered landscape architect and bring to this role 30 years wide ranging experience of landscape design, green infrastructure strategies, LVIA, masterplanning, design and implementation, project management, contract administration, budget control and planning matters. I am actively involved in management of design teams taking forward projects from inception to completion in many areas inlcuding active travel; place making; transportation infrastructure, flood prevention, public realm and commercial development. Our landscape studios have a wide range of experience in Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment. (LVIA). We are specialists in ESIA delivering projects across the globe. We have extensive experience in assessment of renewable energy, (on and off shore wind, PV and marine) and large scale infrastructure projects. We work closely in multi-disciplinary design teams to ensure that a fully integrated and flexible approach to design and assessment is achieved.
