The brief for landscape design is to devise a landscape strategy for the whole site that enhances visual aesthetics and the ecological value; creates attractive usable garden space that will accompany a new family home; responds to the character of the area where landscape remains a primary focus of the site, and informs the new building form, with a ‘naturalistic’ garden from that blends with the surround rural landscape; and minimises any impact that new building additions might have, by using suitable planting and designed landscape elements to help screening and embedding the building within the landform.
