Conservation management Plans

Conservation and restoration management plans have become an increasingly significant part of our historic landscape work in recent years.  Plans vary considerably in purpose and we are accustomed to tailoring our approach to a project to the specific aims of a given brief and client, and to bringing a thorough and principled rigour to its execution and development. 

We work in small teams and have built up our own methodology and evaluation procedures to marry together the interests of historic landscape design, archaeology, ecology, management and land use, without working to an inflexible report template.  We have frequently delivered innovative and successful schemes that have attracted significant levels of grant-aid and have been implemented to the acclaim of both our clients and heritage organisations.

 

Historic Landscapes

The practice has a long-established reputation for expertise in the conservation, restoration, adaptation and management of historic landscapes, with historic park and garden studies forming the principal part of this work.  Past projects range widely in scale, diversity of purpose, type of client and depth of study, from overview to detailed research and analysis, with emphasis on quality at all levels. 

Studies frequently combine archival research in public and private collections with analysis of park and garden archaeology, and our ability to interpret archive material and field evidence, and to analyse its chronology and significance, produces well-informed proposals and has significantly advanced accepted thinking about important parks and gardens.
 
Many of our reports form part of successful English Heritage, DEFRA Stewardship and Heritage Lottery Fund grant applications. They can also provide historic landscape appraisals for modern land use, planning and new design schemes, and contributions to country house guidebooks.
