Landscape Design Services for Planning Applications
Create spaces that satisfy planning requirements and enhance your development’s value.
At Mapscape, we provide professional landscape design services that support planning applications across all sectors – from housing and commercial schemes to public green space improvements and private developments. Our designs can be tailored to meet local authority expectations while delivering long-term visual, ecological, and functional value.
Why Landscape Design Matters in Planning
Planning authorities increasingly expect high-quality, sustainable landscape proposals as part of the planning process. A well-considered landscape plan can:
- Strengthen your application’s chance of approval.
- Address biodiversity, drainage, screening and amenity.
- Complement architectural and ecological objectives.
- Satisfy planning conditions and Section 106 agreements.
- Enhance the appeal and value of your development.
