Randall Thorp provided landscape expert witness services for a mixed use employment park on the outskirts of Alsager.  Subtle changes to the original scheme, enabled it to be robustly defended at appeal, demonstrating the added value good landscape consultants can bring to a project.

Taylor Wimpey and Homes England required a series of visualisations for their flagship new development The Lanes at Penwortham. Randall Thorp were able to combine our detailed knowledge of landscape and planting, the layouts provided by the clients and our artistic flair to create images that were realistic and also captured the vision and character of the scheme. 

Our team has successfully transitioned to the new norm of working from home and video meetings. #stayathome #protecttheNHS #savelives

Our client Taylor Wimpey has secured approval for their 295 home scheme on a brown field site at Ashton-under-Lyne. Landscape design and CGI visuals by Randall Thorp.
