Description

Preparation of Environment Impact Study to support expansion of industrial site

The practice was appointed to prepare an environment impact study for major expansion of existing industrial site. Our work included ecological surveys, visual impact analysis and preparation of detailed landscape and habitat creation plans for planning permission.

The visual impact analysis led us to develop a solution to soften the development via a series of earth bunds planted with a matrix of native tree planting, along with breaking up the facade with some large living wall systems, constructed with steel and wire climbing structures that allowed fast growing climbing plants to grow through.
