Where a development includes significant public open space provision, the local authority will normally require submission of a landscape management plan along with the park design proposals.

 

A landscape management plan will set out the long term objectives for the management of the facility and specifies the management and maintenance tasks required to keep it tidy and safe as well as ensuring the planted elements establish properly and thrive.  Landscape management plans are often also required to include a statement about how the management responsibilities will be secured (i.e. through a management company) and reviewed in years to come.

 

We can provide public open space landscape management plans for planning condition discharge purposes.
