Landscape management plans are essential to maintain the natural beauty of our outdoor spaces, as well as their functionality. Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) or Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) require detailed landscape plans that our expert team can provide.

We understand different landscape functions and always develop plans with clear aims and objectives in mind. This ensures that every landscape is managed in order to bring maximum benefits to the ecology and surrounding environment.

The initial stage of a landscape management plan is to assess all of the existing environmental and ecological features of a landscape. A detailed, bespoke plan is then carried out for future sustainable management with the characteristics of the landscape in mind. Landscape management plans focus on the services and benefits that a particular landscape may be able to provide. For example, landscape management plans can highlight opportunities for renewable energy sources, natural capital, food production, increasing local biodiversity, providing clean air and water and the opportunity for recreational activities.
