Landscape Architecture and Design in Leicestershire

Biodiversity Net Gain and Sustainable Development

Landscape design can contribute to both the visual quality and ecological value of a development. Planting, habitat creation, green infrastructure and appropriate landscape management can help create more sustainable and biodiverse places.

Collington Winter can incorporate Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) considerations into suitable projects, alongside our ecological expertise. For larger sites, this may provide opportunities to retain existing habitats, introduce new planting and improve connections between areas of ecological value.

Collington Winter is a Landscape Institute Registered Practice with more than 15 years’ experience. By bringing landscape architecture, planning and ecological expertise together, we take a holistic approach to each project.
