Open space assessments
Members of our team have built up a national profile in this area, providing expert advice to developers and local authorities. We have worked on over 50 open space studies across the UK from core cities (e.g. Bristol, Sheffield and Newcastle) to large rural areas (e.g. County Durham, Wiltshire and Wealden). We have successfully defended work we have produced at appeals, and been successful in challenging authorities where their standards are not in line with national policy.
GIS capabilities
Ethos has an in house GIS development consultant, and we have developed a number of bespoke GIS toolkits which enable us to collate and analyse the provision of open space. These toolkits combine the use of phones/tablets to collect field data and the synchronisation of this with office based GIS maps which can be shared with clients online.
Our team includes green flag judges, parks professionals and ecologists providing a holistic approach to open space assessment. Ethos have surveyed well over 10,000+ open spaces in recent years
Green infrastructure strategies
Building on our expertise in open space planning, we have also developed several green infrastructure strategies for local authorities across the UK. Our expertise in spatial planning and the development of a bespoke GIS toolkit has ensured our strategies are leading the way in quality and robust analysis.
