Robert Doughty Consultancy

Our office is open, although most of our staff are working from home during the current lockdown. Our telephone lines are open and you can contact members of staff via their email address. As landscape architects, we identify and solve problems using design techniques based on a full understanding of the external environment, knowledge of the functional and aesthetic characteristics of landscape materials, and of the organisation of landscape elements, external spaces and activities. At the Robert Doughty Consultancy, we are proud to employ enthusiastic and dedicated individuals.

The Consultancy boasts not only Chartered Town Planners, a Chartered Landscape Architect and a Chartered Architect, but also Architectural and Design Technicians to provide design support and added value. A strong relationship with professionally qualified specialist consultants enables projects to be managed from inception to completion. We invest in our team to ensure we have the skills necessary to deal with a range of development challenges. We recognise the need to be progressive and to match current trends in all of the work we do.

We have a workload that includes new housing, new employment development, waste management facilities, new schools, a wide range of intensive agricultural development, as well as seasonal workers' accommodation, polytunnels for soft fruit growers and renewable energy projects. Due to complete in 2019, within the curtilage of a Grade II* Listed Building we have created three new family homes by converting a group of existing farm buildings; one of which is separately Grade II Listed.

Lewis is a Chartered Town Planner and has extensive experience of a range of town and country planning matters with experience gained working for several Local Authorities. Graham is our Principal Landscape Architect and is experienced in site appraisals, concept and feasibility studies, infrastructure works, landscape and visual impact assessments, detailed hard and soft landscape design and project management. Michael brings a wealth of expertise in planning policy and local plan work to the practice and is heavily involved in promoting new housing development sites and organising public consultations for various projects.

We work across a broad range of building type and scale across Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and the wider United Kingdom. We design both new buildings and the refurbishment of existing ones, work in Conservation Areas, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and with Listed Buildings. The practice is one of only a handful regionally to utilise Building Information Modelling (BIM). We use this technology alongside more traditional methods of design development and communication including hand drawing and physical model making.
