There is plenty of scope to build biodiversity value into the artificial habitats created in gardens and landscaping projects, and on sensitive sites a condition of planning may be that landscaping is undertaken in a way that is sympathetic to the existing conditions. WM Associates have extensive experience of specification of biodiversity-enhanced schemes.
WM Associates and McIlwaine Landscape Architects operate a working partnership as ‘Ecoscape NI’ to deliver the traditional skills of landscape design with ecological insight.
