Green Infrastructure Consultancy Services

Green Infrastructure (GI) is a strategically planned network of green and blue infrastructure assets designed to deliver environmental, social, and economic benefits for communities. These assets include parks, street trees, green corridors, sustainable drainage systems, water bodies, and habitat networks that collectively enhance place quality and resilience.

Our team of green infrastructure planning specialists provides expert green infrastructure consultancy services that guide the delivery of sustainable development, helping clients address climate change, flood risk, biodiversity decline, and urban growth.

The Importance of Green Infrastructure Planning

Effective green infrastructure planning is now a fundamental requirement of the UK planning system, supported by the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), Natural England’s Green Infrastructure Framework, and emerging Local Nature Recovery Strategies.

When thoughtfully planned and managed, GI can:

• Mitigate flood risk through Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS)
• Enhance biodiversity and habitat connectivity
• Improve air quality and urban cooling
• Support health, wellbeing, and active travel
• Protect and enhance existing landscapes and open spaces
• Increase long-term social and economic value

Our approach ensures GI is embedded early in the planning process, linking existing and proposed assets to create multi-functional landscapes that deliver lasting value for both people and the environment.
