Our Thinking

At the forefront of sustainable development

We aim to be at the very forefront of sustainable development so we work hard to understand what the client’s problem really is, rather than simply delivering a standard ‘solution’. This enables us to focus on what really matters, to make sure it does the job.

Our People

We love what we do!

We enjoy solving client problems and exploring what additional value can be brought to a place with thoughtful and effective landscape and urban design. We explore the background and relish working with other designers, engineers, planners and ecologists to do this.

Our Impact

The vast majority of our work comes from recommendations, mostly from people who have worked with us before and would like to so do again.

Often the most important people are the end-users of a place and we strive to engage them and keep in touch. Sustainable development implies a timescale; we return to see how places grow and develop in time. This way we learn how to improve our effectiveness.

We were recommended DSA to prepare a ‘landscape led’ planning application for our housing scheme in Nottinghamshire. They put the design team together, bringing in specialists to address complications even before they arose. The team worked imaginatively and diligently and at some speed, to overcome planning objections and deliver a proposal that we are delighted with. This led to a successful consent and even praise from the Chair of the Planning Committee. We look forward to working with them as the houses are being built.
