Jenny continues in her own right as Senior Urban Design Officer for Brighton and Hove City Council, working on design projects and strategy. The Clock Tower project, which JEA supported with technical drawings, and images for public consultation, is now going on the ground, with the final plan including a bespoke serpentine stone seat, and planting to create a meeting place in the hub of the city.
JEA continues to provide public realm design, currently working on a new housing estate with sustainability and climate change requirements as a key design consideration.
We have recently undertaken all the landscape design work alongside a large development company and design team, for a large PFI development of residential care homes and surgery care, won over a period of months in a knock-out of 5 other selected teams. We recently gained planning permission and look forward to the developing project.
The landscape design schemes for these sites aim to assimilate the new buildings into their existing surroundings and provide beautiful, practical spaces for residents to enjoy. 'Access for All' has been a key priority for these designs as we strive to include residents who may have varying levels of mobility. The proposed designs cater to the needs of the residents while providing a comforting and relaxing backdrop for socialisation, therapy and exercise. The gardens provide a visually stimulating environment and are logically laid out for easy orientation. Intricate planting choices provide seasonal interest as different colours, scents, textures, movements and sounds enrich the landscape.
Here are some recent responses to our work:
On behalf of my team... can I extend a big thank you to everyone who helped to get the planning application documents together in record time. A great achievement and a fabulous outcome. Well done all!

It was good news today at the Planning Committee Meeting where we were granted Reserved Matters consent for all 4 of the Age Well projects. Well done all re the record timescale.

We are very pleased with the design created by you and will be using it as closely as we can. Thank you to all the people who have worked on this.

This last response was in relationship to one of the smaller, community based projects with which we were involved, which included providing plans for a local school's playground. Education is extremely important to Jenny and we are pleased to be involved in creating stimulating learning environments for children.
