Landscape Design & Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)

At Metters & Wellby, we approach landscape design as an integral part of the architectural process—creating outdoor spaces that are functional, visually striking, and aligned with planning policy.

We offer a specialist landscape design service focused on hardscaping and architectural landscaping—from terraces, driveways, and retaining structures to the careful integration of outdoor spaces with the form and flow of your building.

Led by Expertise

Our landscape design work is led by Dominic Owen, who brings both creative flair and technical rigour to every scheme. Dominic ensures that landscape proposals feel cohesive, robust, and tailored to the site’s context and constraints.

We also have two Level 4 Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) trained architectural designers, providing us with an understanding of the BNG requirements. We work closely with Ecologists to produce BNG plans for small sites. This is increasingly essential in Cornwall, where local authorities require clear strategies to demonstrate a measurable uplift in biodiversity as part of new development.

What We Offer:

Hard landscaping and external works layout

Integration with architectural design and site levels

BNG assessment and strategy development

Coordination with planting consultants where needed

We’re here to help you create compliant, compelling outdoor environments that work in harmony with your architecture and the natural surroundings.

Why Work With Us

We’re a small, experienced architectural practice based in North Cornwall. That means you’ll always work directly with a professional team who listens carefully, responds quickly, and designs with both imagination and precision.

We work closely with ecologists and planners to shape schemes that not only complement your home but also support biodiversity and meet Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements—creating outdoor spaces that are as thoughtful and sustainable as they are beautiful.
