  • Rosewell, MidlothianIglu produced a Development Framework for a site on the south eastern

    edge of Rosewell in Midlothian, helping to coordinate input relating to planning, transport, drainage, ecology and ground condition. The

    framework looked beyond the boundaries of the site and set out a vision for the generational growth of Rosewell.

    North Lanarkshire RepsIglu were commissioned to provide representations to North Lanarkshire Council for a number of sites near the town of Kilsyth. The rep documents addressed key issues including landscape, flooding and access to promote the allocation of the sites for residential development. The sites were further promoted by the production of a concept masterplan that clearly demonstrated how identified constraints / opportunities could be mitigated / utilised to create a sensitive and connected development.

    Large Scale Masterplanning

    URBAN DESIGNIglu provide a range of Urban and Landscape Design services to clients within the housebuilding sector, from large scale strategic masterplanning to detailed design layouts. Below is a selection of projects demonstrating our breadth of experience.

  • Newcraighall, EdinburghIglu are currently engaged on a new 200 acre multi-use masterplan at the south east edge of Edinburgh, incorporating residential, commercial, and educational developments. The proposed masterplan sets out a development framework focused on landscape and SUDs, within which existing and new development and infrastructure is to be integrated through new and existing connections. Iglu recently produced a design and access statement and detailed block layout for a detailed application relating to the south eastern corner site within the strategic masterplan area.

    Newtongrange, MidlothianIglu produced a strategic town growth plan and conceptual masterplan to highlight the merits of a site located on the northern edge of Newtongrange. The plans helped to highlight the sites sustainable location, well connected to key services and public transport in the town, and how, with neighbouring recreational facilities and areas of woodland the sites development could help establish a new Sport, Amenity and Woodland Corridor along the towns northern boundary.

  • Housing Layouts

    Clachan of Campsie, West DunbartonshireIglu prepared a series of housing layouts to assist negotiations with the planning department for planning permission of a small-scale residential proposal for a sensitive site in the conservation village of Clachan of Campsie in East Dunbartonshire. The final layout was accompanied by a series of graphics that communicated the impact of the proposal, particularly in terms of landscape and urban design principles. The proposals were recently granted planning permission by West Dunbartonshire Council.

    Strathmiglo, FifeIglu produced a constraints and opportunities plan and indicative block masterplan to promote development of a site on the northern edge of Strathmiglo. The work sought to promote how the site could form a natural and connected extension to the village, linking to the many existing wynds leading off the villages main street.

    Bunkershill, North BerwickIglu produced a development feasibility study, which looked at a series of density and layout options for a small site at the back of a listed estate building called Bunkershill in North Berwick. The study helped inform and progress discussions with the local authority addressing issues such as landscaping, access, building form, SUDs and visual impact from the A198, the main gateway into North Berwick from the west. Our services included the production of a plan plotting the trees running along the western edge of the estate, ascertaining whether a new access route could be introduced, and the creation of a visualisation, illustrating the potential visual impact development would have from along the A198.

  • Visual isat ions and Sketches

    Craighead, BothwellIglu provided landscape design and graphic support for a Design and Access Statement and masterplan. Graphic production included a series of sketchup model and CGI vignettes to illustrate the design and character of linear areas of parkland proposed for the sites riverside and roadside edges. Sections and isometric plans were produced to illustrate how landscaping and landform could mitigate the natural slope of the site to sensitively accommodate new housing.

    Shillingworth Landscape ReviewIglu produced a landscape review document to illustrate the impact a proposed new development would have on the western gateway into Shillingworth, on the edge of Bridge of Weir. The document culminated in a series of visualisations showing the development and the landscape mitigation measures proposed to soften any visual impact from along the road.

    Birds Eye and Ground Level IllustrationsIglu produce a range of illustrations to help promote new housing and mixed use developments. Please contact us if you would like to see a selection of our illustrative work.
