Portfolio Work
A selection of work from the last four years; both university and freelance.
As part of the post graduate course I have also produced a number of plain-text reports including:
• a short Landscape Character Assessment of an area to the east of Cheltenham;
• an EIA Scoping Study for a proposed quarry in the Forest of Dean;
• a Phase One Habitat Survey; and
• an Access and Interpretation Strategy for Alney Island in Gloucester.
The above reports are quite large files (6-12Mb) so please be patient in downloading. To keep the file size as low as possible I have not included all the figures/appendices, so feel free to contact me if you wish to see the full versions.
