Johnny Clayton has joined Bidwells as Head of Landscape and Urban Design, leading the firm’s specialist national team to provide landscape architecture consultancy including urban design and landscape planning.
This includes detailed hard and soft landscape design, visual impact, capacity and character assessment, urban design and master-planning.
