COMMERCIAL BUSINESS LANDSCAPE DESIGN 

Steve Ritson worked for RPS Clouston of Durham on the Newcastle Business Park, from 1988-90 a scheme which brought back new life and jobs to the iconic banks of the River Tyne and included some major office developments including British Airways, Cellnet and the AA Headquarters.

Steve designed the layout of several areas within the business park, including the Central Core Area, Riverside Village, British Telecom and AA National Headquarters as well as large sections of the Riverside Walk, Top promenade of the Cathedral Walls and The Dog-Tooth Walls.

Along the riverside promenade a series of seating areas were created, sheltered by walls and planting with sculptures as focal points throughout the park.

Old stone carvings from the former Armstrong Munitions works were saved and re-used at the head of the steps to retain some of the industrial history of the site. 

Green Tyger Design have prepared the landscape design for an 'In Vessel Composting Facility' or IVC Plant at Leighton Grange in Cheshire for Biowise Ltd.

The composting facility was granted planning consent in July 2018 and the building completed in 2019 and watch out for more pics as the landscape and screening bunds are establised.

Green Tyger Design were appointed to prepare an Accurate Visual Representation (AVR) for an expanding recycling centre in Ilkeston, Derbyshire.

The work involved creating a 3D computer model of the existing site and surrounding area up to 2km and then showing the proposed new plant, chimney and stockpiling required to carry out the recycling works for the proposed plant.

A video fly through was then prepared to illustrate the existing factory and compared it to the proposals from a variety of viewpoints in the area. This helped the planning authority visualise the potential impact of the scheme and led to the client gaining planning consent and the plant is now up and recycling.
