Horticulture
Horticulture is within the definition of agriculture in
planning terms. However, as nurseries are often a more intensive
use they bring specific planning issues. Our planning
consultancy service includes specialists with experience
of horticultural units.
The interface between horticultural and retail uses creates
its own problems and we have particular experience of garden
centres, farm shops and retail nurseries.
Buildings for horticulture also presents specific requirements
e.g. glasshouses, pack houses and polytunnels. Our architectural
services can help you design buildings suitable for
your needs. Our design consultants have worked for Kew Gardens,
Savill Gardens (Crown Estates) and Cambridge University
on glasshouse projects.
The sale of garden centres and nurseries requires an understanding
of what you are selling both in terms of use and potential
and we can provide that service (see property
sales).
