A new Landscape Architect and Cad Technician have joined our practice. David Forsyth has come to us from Capita’s Carlisle office, to strengthen our landscape design and assessment team and Rosie English has joined us to explore advanced visualisation techniques.
We have been watching the Whinash Windfarm Public Inquiry with great interest, since it was on our door step and look forward to a decision in the near future.
We have had good news in the last couple of months, with a grant of planning permission for the Sand and Gravel Quarry Extension at Peel Place, Gosforth, West Cumbria. We wish Tendley Quarries Ltd. a successful and smooth 6 years of operation.
We have been involved with a planning submission for a proposed wind farm near Contin, north of Inverness, on the Fairburn Estate above Orrin Reservoir. Scottish and Southern Energy have submitted an ES for Fairburn Windfarm, 20 turbines with a capacity of 35MW.

We have recently assisted BNFL with a planning submission including environmental assessment for temporary increased stacking in Vault 8 of the Low Level Waste Repository at Drigg in West Cumbria near Sellafield. We look forward to working with them in future developments.
