JFA were part of the team that secured planning permission for Crest Nicholson on a Green belt site in Hertfordshire. The local authority complimented the ‘exceptionally high standard of the design’. See full article including biodiversity design enhancements.
JFA were part of the team that assisted CN that assisted Crest Nicholson gain planning permission in a former Green Belt rural site ‘Grangebrook’, with special mention being given to the quality of design. The project is in an urban fringe location in Hertfordshire, bounded by a brook and mature trees. The brook offered potential for ecological enhancement having been substantially degraded through overgrazing. The scheme includes landscape and biodiversity design that offers aesthetic and recreation benefits for the new residents in the form of naturalistic open green space. The green space has been maximised to achieve this whilst providing significant biodiversity benefits. All sites offer potential for biodiversity improvements. JFA pride themselves on taking an integrated approach to the landscape and ecology within the built environment, often taking a creative approach to achieve innovative design solutions to provide biodiversity enhancements even in the hardest landscape. We all know about off the peg enhancement measures such as bat and bird boxes. But making a real difference to your scheme without demanding greater land take can be as simple as considering your landscape scheme from an ecological perspective. The planting palette of species and construction can reinforce local habitat connectivity and be targeted at local species.
