Geoscience, Landscape & Planning

Tapestry has undertaken two research projects for the British Geological Survey to understand the interface between urban planning and geoscience. Both projects were focused on Manchester and considered how regeneration projects on brownfield land could better understand risks and opportunities associated with the subsurface. As part of our research, we have produced a large format guide on how property developers can utilise data on ground conditions to inform masterplans that use land more efficiently, whilst creating attractive landscapes with Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS).
