Case Study • Topographical Survey
Green spaces have evolved from simple nice-to-haves to vital additions in urban design. For Accrington Town Centre, the proposal to renew and renovate recreational spaces ensured the need for accurate and tailored surveying solutions to lay the groundwork for a successful development.
Our team was commissioned by Hyndburn Borough Council to create a comprehensive topographical survey before work could commence. This survey was crucial in identifying the unique characteristics of the landscape, including elevation changes, existing vegetation, and infrastructure elements. By utilising advanced surveying techniques, we provided precise data that facilitated effective planning and design decisions.
Improvements have already begun to take shape, with new trees planted and enhanced horticultural features introduced to enrich the landscape. The selection of healthier tree varieties aims to promote biodiversity and environmental sustainability, ensuring that these spaces thrive for years to come. Moreover, plans for community facilities are underway, designed to foster social interaction and engagement among residents.
These enhancements are set to provide the community with beautiful and accessible areas to relax within the town. As urban areas become increasingly crowded, the integration of green spaces becomes paramount in improving the quality of life. They serve not only as recreational spaces but also as vital ecosystems that support wildlife and promote mental well-being.
The vision for Accrington Town Centre aims to create a community hub where residents can enjoy nature, connect with one another, and participate in various activities. As the project progresses, we are excited to see how these green spaces will transform the town, bringing new life and opportunities for community engagement.
