I am currently working at Ecotricity, a supplier of green energy from renewable sources. I mainly produce Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments for windfarms as part of the EIA process, although I also assess solar parks and provide landscape advice on any renewable energy projects that Ecotricity are researching.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Prior to joining Ecotricity this year, I worked \u00a0at Bristol \u00a0City Council (BCC) for approximately six years where I became a Chartered member of the Landscape Institute. At Bristol Council I managed a diverse range of public realm projects, covering all aspects of Landscape Architecture such as\u00a0<\/span>strategic and green infrastructure planning, the redevelopment of citywide parks and neighbourhoods, creation of new play areas, highways schemes and school playground design.\u00a0<\/span>All my projects have involved extensive\u00a0<\/span>public participation and engagement, working with neighbourhood partnerships and community groups to secure and manage funding for landscape projects.\u00a0In addition to this I also acted as a Landscape Planner in Development Control, advising on all landscape planning matters including major applications.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Immediately following completion of the Conversion course I gained employment with David Jarvis Associates where I dealt primarily with the minerals and waste industry, with some masterplanning of urban extensions. I prepared and submitted planning applications, wrote LVIA for projects such as quarry extensions and conducted research for MIRO.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

In the photo we are discussing how I incorporated their ideas into my design proposal for the makeover of Poets Park in Horfield.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
