LBLA developed the landscape works for the reserved matters application 
at Pit Cottage Bunker. The development sought to repurpose an old 
transmission bunker from world war two into holiday accommodation.

LBLA worked closely with Lipton Plant Architects (now corstorphine-wright) 
and planning consultants Boyer. Together the team developed a sympathetic development that retained the character and history of the bunker whilst 
creating a sustainable use case for the future.

The key to the landscape design was to ensure the development blended 
with the surrounding woodland. We proposed a mix of ivy and ferns atop 
the bunked with shade tolerant wildflower seed. Now approaching its second 
year we look forward to the meadow establishing and exhibiting a range 
of wildflowers.
