The Sewell Group
We have been involved in this major schools building project from the outset - firstly acting on behalf of the local authority
to set the landscape brief and then obtain on their behalf outline planning permission. Next we acted on behalf of one of the

successfully assisting them in winning the bid. The project is now on site - we will be engaged with implementation of the
landscape works and liaison with the teachers and pupils on completion to ensure the site is tailored to their specific
educational requirements (2003 - date).
