Landscape Architecture and Design in Lancaster

Biodiversity Net Gain and Landscape Planning

Landscape architecture can contribute significantly to the environmental value of a development. Planting, habitat creation, green infrastructure and appropriate management can help improve biodiversity while creating attractive and functional outdoor spaces.

Collington Winter can incorporate Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) considerations into appropriate projects, working alongside our ecological expertise. This allows landscape and ecology to be considered together when developing proposals.

For landowners with larger sites, this joined-up approach can also help identify opportunities to enhance existing habitats while considering future land uses and development requirements.

Collington Winter is a Landscape Institute Registered Practice with more than 15 years’ experience. Our landscape architecture, planning and ecological expertise allows us to take a holistic approach to projects, considering development requirements alongside landscape character and environmental value.
