What Lloyd Bore Landscape Architects does

Lloydbore Ltd, trading as Lloyd Bore Landscape Architects, is a UK environmental consultancy founded in Canterbury in 1996 by Julian Bore. The firm delivers integrated landscape architecture, ecology and arboriculture services for development projects, supplemented by a verified photomontage visualisation service that combines survey-grade photography with 3D models to support Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA). Its core technology is built on industry-standard survey methodologies (BS 5837:2012 tree surveys), Natural England class survey licences for protected species, and proprietary visualisation workflows that include vegetation growth simulation across 5-10+ year horizons. Service offerings now extend to Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) assessment tied to the UK statutory 10% net gain requirement effective February 2024, plus Ecological Clerk of Works and expert witness services.

The firm operates as a private consultancy on a project-based professional services model, quoting scope-by-scope and engaging clients directly without intermediaries. It serves residential and commercial developers, local authorities and government bodies, healthcare providers (e.g., Surrey NHS), the education sector (e.g., Christchurch University), heritage and luxury hospitality estates (e.g., Elite Hotels' Luton Hoo), and leisure operators (e.g., London Golf Club), with projects spanning Kent, London, Manchester, Cumbria, Bedfordshire and Luton. Co-owners Christopher Beech and Andrew Cox run day-to-day operations following founder Julian Bore's 2023 retirement into a consultancy role. The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct client engagement, the company website for lead generation, and a centralised contact team (Practice Manager, dedicated email and phone lines). The firm does not publish pricing, has no external funding, no parent company, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities.

Product overview

Lloyd Bore Landscape Architects is an environmental consultancy established in 1996, providing services across three core disciplines: Landscape Architecture, Ecology, and Arboriculture. The firm offers a unified service model where these disciplines work in parallel, with the Landscape Architecture team handling site assessment, concept design, masterplanning, and technical design; the Ecology team providing terrestrial and aquatic ecology services including habitat surveys, impact assessments, and Biodiversity Net Gain assessment; and the Arboriculture team undertaking tree surveys to BS 5837: 2012 standard. Additionally, the firm offers Visualisations services for creating verified photomontages using 3D modelling combined with surveyed photography for environmental impact assessments. The integrated approach allows clients to access all three core disciplines from a single consultancy.
