Construction projects are becoming increasingly complex, while environmental requirements are becoming more stringent. Through close collaboration between GREENBOX and LACON, we combine landscape planning expertise with in-depth environmental knowledge. This way, we can offer landscape planning as an integral part of our overall planning – professionally grounded, compliant with regulations, and practical to implement.
Ecology plays a particularly important role in urban environments: cities need to become more climate-resilient, biodiverse, and healthier. Topics such as heat reduction, water retention, habitat connectivity, and nature-based solutions are becoming central. Through our interdisciplinary approach, we are able to not only meet ecological requirements but also actively translate them into high-quality urban spaces – from early analysis to measures planning and structural implementation.
Our team develops ecological and spatial foundations that create planning and permitting certainty. These include the analysis and evaluation of landscape areas, the development of landscape and green space plans, and landscape management accompanying plans. We integrate aspects of sustainability, climate adaptation, and spatial impact early on, and combine ecological expertise with a clear focus on feasibility and implementation.
In the field of nature conservation, we prepare reliable nature protection assessments, preliminary assessments under the Habitats Directive (FFH), and expert evaluations in accordance with §44 of the German Nature Conservation Act (BNatSchG). Based on comprehensive assessments, we develop conservation measures for protected species and habitats and provide specialist assessments on topics such as the EU Water Framework Directive. Our work ensures legally sound decisions and supports the long-term preservation and promotion of ecological diversity.
As a professional interface between planning, permitting authorities and project developers, we review environmental documentation, facilitate coordination, and develop viable compensation and mitigation strategies. We strategically guide projects and advise on environmental legal requirements, so that complex projects can be implemented in an equally environmentally responsible and legally sound manner.
During construction, we ensure that environmental and nature conservation requirements are met. Our team monitors construction sites, documents the implementation of protective and compensatory measures, and advises on minimizing potential impacts. Additionally, we conduct measurements and monitoring in the areas of sound and vibration emissions and professionally accompany approval processes.
Through the close collaboration between our teams, we offer an integrated range of services that combines ecological expertise, regulatory requirements and design quality. For sustainable, resilient and legally compliant projects – all from a single source.
