Dunsfold Park, the first planned village in Surrey for over a century is a mixed-use development of up to 3400 homes and supporting infrastructure.

LUC has been advising the site owners for a number of years to bring forward a sustainable settlement in this location.

The project aims to transform the site into a 21st century example of sustainable rural development creating an attractive, pedestrian-friendly place to live and work, set within significant areas of public open space and with facilities for recreation, shopping and leisure.

Our client involved us in concept planning and design stages, so we were able to integrate mitigation measures and sustainable development concepts into the scheme.

LUC’s ecology team was involved early in the project, undertaking robust baseline surveys to support design development and meet planning requirements.

Our landscape and EIA specialists worked alongside Pollard Thomas Edwards architects to deliver a successful scheme.

We submitted the outline planning application, and then provided expert witness services at inquiry in relation to landscape and visual impacts as well as a written statement on ecology.
