Masterplanning
By incorporating ecologically sensitive design and features for biodiversity early on within a development or regeneration masterplan, significant improvements for biodiversity can be achieved, along with easier integration with wider environmental, design and planning aspects. For example, masterplanning and design can include the retention of sensitive or valuable habitats present, or enhancements for protected species that may be present, whilst integrating other development design requirements such as drainage and engineering. By addressing ecological aspects early on, design aspects such as site layout can be tailored to provide enhancements and improvements for biodiversity that may not be possible later on within the design process.
