Expert witness services

We are regularly called to provide expert opinion on planning or landscape matters. Our conclusions help ensure appeal decisions are made for the benefit of nature, people and place.

Several of our senior staff are experienced expert witnesses. They regularly provide written and graphical evidence, and appear at public inquiries, hearings and examinations across the UK. Our expertise has assisted in securing planning consent for a range of developments.

We provide essential support to local planning authorities and public bodies with respect to the impact of development on protected landscapes. We bring our evidence to public inquiries relating to large-scale landscape development.
