Landscape Architecture

What is Landscape Architecture?

This is the profession of designing spaces in the outdoors that put people, art, heritage and nature at the centre of the process. It can be applied at all scales from gardens and playgrounds to influencing national legislation, and can also include assessing the landscape and visual impacts of new projects.

At Newcastle City Council the Landscape Architecture team review planning applications and provide services in the design of new (and repaired) public spaces while advising on the maintenance and management of the City’s open space and landscape assets.

We are a team of award winning, chartered professionals, able to implement a wide variety and scale of projects, from initial ideas through to construction on site.  For further information contact landscape@newcastle.gov.uk
