This site is focused around the development of agricultural barns. There was very little mature planting in the vicinity and so a programme of woodland planting was a priority in order to provide screening and shelter.
An existing attenuation pond was transformed through significant drainage works, re-shaping, and contouring to create a stunning fixed level pond with a jetty and small island. Shrub & tree planting was kept to a minimum, so that the large wildflower meadows with mown paths take the eye toward the wider ‘borrowed’ landscape of the surrounding woodland and fields.
