The Landscape Consultancy group provides a landscape planning and design service to the County Council, and a consultancy service to national agencies and district/borough councils.

We advise on development control, the County Council's structure plan and landscape policy.

We are specialists in urban regeneration, land restoration, the management and conservation of historic landscapes and landscape character assessment.

We attract grants and work in partnership with local and national organisations to deliver projects for the conservation and enhancement of the Essex landscapes. Recent European funding has allowed us to expand our work.
