Congratulations to Jack Moody Group who have won a BALI National Landscape Award for the Soft Landscaping Construction at Mercia Forest Crematorium. We’ve enjoyed collaborating with them and our client, Westerleigh Group, on this project and when Zeb made a visit to site recently it was progressing well. https://lnkd.in/e5X9FVYY

Nice scheme - very much looking forward to seeing this built

Such a pleasure to visit Silbury House, the most sustainable building in CMK, today with John Dougan, Julian Leese and Bevis Mulholland CEng MIET to see the final touches being made by Thomas Sinden Limited; we still have the WELL performance rating testing, and fitout of the amazing reception and business lounge and Cat A+ suites by the month end to complete but the finished article is almost there:

We are delighted to have received planning approval for a new contemporary, barn style home in a rural setting close to the village of Lockerley near Romsey. Initially called in to assist when the project hit problems at the pre-application stage, Indigo provided advice on the character of the landscape and the nature of built form that would be acceptable in this sensitive landscape setting, and then prepared a Landscape and Visual Appraisal and landscape masterplan to assist the with the planning application. Working with Western Design Architects and Atlas Planning, issues associated with the impacts on a Public Right of Way running through the site were also resolved, resulting in a positive planning outcome at the end of January. Naturally our clients were very pleased and were happy to share some feedback on their experience of working with us. “We were recommended to use Indigo Landscape Architects when we ran into difficulties with our planning application, with regard to the visual impact on the landscape and issues around a public footpath running along our land. The Indigo team were invaluable in their support and were able to help us to secure full planning permission in the end. As well as providing very detailed landscape visual impact assessments and landscape design, they attended meetings with us and the council, and their calm and considered professional approach was extremely helpful.”

Many thanks to all our fantastic clients and co-consultants. We look forward to working with you in 2024. This year we have again given a donation to the World Land Trust, to support their conservation work, and we continue to work with them to offset our carbon emissions. The office will be closed from midday on Friday 22nd December until 8:30am on Tuesday 2nd January.
