A new field of work, in which we have been developing an area of expertise, is in the modelling and assessment of sites for alternative energy sources, such as solar panels and biogas plants throughout the country.

In Norfolk, our photomontages and Landscape & Visual Impact Assessments were crucial in the design and development of two separate bioagas plants in North Norfolk, which gained planning permission during 2012 and early 2013. Rather than simply attempt to hide the development in the landscape, careful site selection and landscape design will enable the contemporary development to
sit comfortably within the landscape.
