Regenerative Landscape Architecture Services and Land Use Planning
Landstory helps people, places and projects step into a more life-giving role.
From land use planning to deep, community-led design and co-design processes, we provide regenerative landscape architecture services that support the human transition needed for people to reclaim their role as a keystone species within thriving bioregions.
We work with landowners, public bodies, developers and community groups at any stage of the journey — from the first spark of an idea through to delivery on the ground and long-term stewardship.
Land use planning and regenerative design
We bring together landscape architecture, holistic land use planning and regenerative thinking to reveal the true potential of your place.
- Landscape architecture and LVIA – Concept and detailed landscape design, visualisations and Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment to support planning and enhance sense of place.
- Permaculture and regenerative farm planning – Whole‑farm and estate planning, integrating permaculture design with commercial realities to create resilient, productive and beautiful land systems.
- Hydrological analysis and site water planning – Reading the water cycle of your land, from catchment to contour, to design ponds, wetlands and drainage that slow, store and sink water.
- Rewilding strategies and management plans – Ecological baselining, habitat creation and long‑term management frameworks that balance rewilding, access, farming and stewardship.
- Architectural masterplanning and urban design – Working alongside architects and planners to shape streets, public spaces and green infrastructure where healthy communities can take root.
- Watershed management and natural climate solutions – Catchment‑scale thinking that links your project to wider nature‑based solutions, carbon, flood resilience and biodiversity goals.
Community‑led development and participation
Lasting change happens when the people of a place see their own potential and have a hand in shaping it.
- Community‑led development – Supporting local groups, landowners and councils to co‑create visions, governance and delivery plans that reflect lived experience and local knowledge.
- Participatory design and development – Designing and facilitating workshops, charrettes and engagement processes that bring stakeholders together around shared goals.
- Regenerative design and development – Applying regenerative principles to projects so that each intervention grows capacity in people, organisations and landscapes over time.
Communications, fundraising and project support
Good ideas need clear stories, robust plans and capable teams to move from vision to reality.
- Communications and fundraising – Helping you articulate the value of your project, build compelling cases for support and align with funders, partners and policy.
- Project design, management and coordination – Supporting you to shape the brief, structure the project, coordinate multidisciplinary teams and keep work aligned with your core purpose.
- Support across all stages – From early‑stage thinking and site walks, through feasibility, design and planning, to delivery, monitoring and adaptive management. We can tailor our involvement to suit different budgets, timeframes and capacities.
