We’re pleased to welcome Kirsty Hawthorne to our Landscape Team as a Senior Landscape Planner. Kirsty previously worked at a water-based engineering company providing landscape planning support for the Environment Agency and other private clients.
Kirsty was drawn to Brindle & Green’s company dynamic and the ‘people first’ ethic which allows her to juggle being a working professional and mother having recently returned to work. Brindle & Green’s different avenues of work allow Kirsty to expand her work portfolio in delivering LVA/LVIA, as well as allowing her to transfer her skills from working on large infrastructure projects.
Kirsty is looking forward to getting involved in providing and supporting the landscape team in the delivery of landscape planning documents and getting involved in office-based socials.
Over the next 12 months, Kirsty is keen to get trained in delivering Residential Visual Amenity Assessments (RVAA) expanding the delivery capabilities of the landscape team and how we can support clients further. She would also like to become a mentor to junior members of staff and support them on their Pathway to Chartership and provide guidance, when needed, for them to gain there CMLI status.
Brindle & Green recently completed a carefully planned mud snail translocation, led by Consultant Ecologist Daisy Fretwell, to support the conservation of this specialist species and ensure the successful establishment of a new habitat.
Brindle and Green is pleased to have supported Alex Paton and Son, part of the Cairnhill Group, a local family business, through the Landscape Planning process with the production of a Landscape Visual Impact Assessment with associated visualisations.
Set within a landscape steeped in history, the site offers a fascinating glimpse into the area’s past, forming part of what was once a thriving medieval village. The following, written by Tom Hough, Head of Archaeology & Heritage, explores the rich heritage of Wolverton and the historic significance of our new location.
