About us

Based in our Dorking office, Leo has over 20 years of experience in the landscape industry and has been involved in a wide range of landscape and environmental projects, from strategic-level site assessment through to detailed design and implementation.

Since joining FPCR in 2011, Leo has specialised in green infrastructure design, masterplanning, and landscape and visual assessment for large-scale residential, employment, and mixed-use developments, leading the production of full suites of promotional and application material, including vision and design documents. Leo also has considerable experience across a broad range of urban realm strategies, tendering, contract administration, and implementation works.

More recently, Leo has used his experience to take on the role of expert witness in landscape and visual matters at appeal inquiries and hearings, where he has helped clients achieve planning consent for residential and commercial developments.

Being involved in a variety of proposals across a range of sectors has allowed Leo to build his knowledge of the broad range of projects that landscape encompasses, resulting in a holistic approach to his role as a consultant.

As well as being well versed in strategic design, Leo still has a keen interest in the more detailed design of challenging spaces, where he is able to combine his background in fine art with his former experience as a landscape contractor to produce creative and practical design solutions. Leo has particularly enjoyed being involved in developing concepts for play spaces, where there is often an opportunity to help the younger generation understand the local landscape and historic context through design.
