Randall Thorp is delighted to announce the successful outcome of a planning appeal on behalf of Gladman Developments Ltd, securing outline permission for up to 78 new homes at Glencot Road, Wookey Hole, Wells.

We are pleased to be part of the design team for the £50m expansion of Edgeley Park, the historic home of Stockport County FC.

We are delighted to congratulate Lara on her well-earned promotion to Landscape Architect.

We are delighted to welcome Tom Stanton, Urban Designer as our newest member of the team.

Exciting plans, led by PJ Livesey, to revitalise the former Chorlton Cross Shopping Centre are set to be submitted to Manchester City Council, paving the way for a vibrant new neighbourhood in the heart of the community.

Dick and Lindsay have enjoyed visiting Sheffield and Birmingham City Universities over the past couple of months to review the student's final project work and act as formal external examiner for the BCU course.

In July 2023, I began my Year in Practice at Randall Thorp as part of the Integrated Masters in Landscape Architecture at the University of Sheffield. My interest in Randall Thorp grew after meeting Danielle and Lara at the university’s Landscape Architecture Employers Fair. Their friendly approach and enthusiasm for the practice assured me this was the right place for my year out.

Our client, the PJ Livesey Group has been granted planning approval to create 120 homes on their site off Heslington Road, York known as The Retreat. The plans will see the 18th century former specialist mental health care facility, which closed in 2018, converted and new homes built in the grounds. The homes will be surrounded by stunning grounds including a Peace and Tranquillity Garden, orchard and Tennis Court. Previously closed off to the public, the historic park and gardens will be restored and opened up for local people to enjoy.

We held our annual RT Summer Social in the sunny Peak District: a walk around Kinder Reservoir followed by a BBQ at Lindsay’s house. It was great to get together to enjoy a scenic stroll, appreciate the beautiful landscape we have on our doorstep and contribute to the delicious spread of food! We can't wait till next year!
