Audiology House
At Encon Associates, we take pride in delivering landscape solutions that not only meet planning requirements but also elevate the experience of place. Check out our standout landscape design and maintenance scheme for the redevelopment of Audiology House, a historic site reborn into a residential haven.
Our scope focused on crafting and implementing a full Landscape Specification and Maintenance Plan, a key requirement from the local planning authority. We addressed every detail, ensuring the landscaping was visually compelling, and designed for long-term success.
Our strategy included:
- A full suite of hard and soft landscaping
- Carefully selected planting to support biodiversity
- Native hedgerow and wildflower borders
- Winter- and spring-flowering bulbs
- Shrubs and trees with ecological value
- A biodiverse brown roof on the new build
- A practical, annual maintenance schedule to ensure ongoing care

A Site Steeped in History – Reimagined for the Future
Originally built in the 1870s, Audiology House is a classic Victorian mansion with a rich past — including its time as part of the Mullard Electrical Works from 1923 onward. Over time, the building grew with industrial additions, but the latest chapter in its story brings thoughtful restoration, smart new design, and a bold landscape vision.
The Vision: Historic Character Meets Modern Living
The development includes:
-
The careful renovation of Audiology House, including the removal of industrial extensions.
-
The addition of two new sympathetic wings to the historic structure.
-
A brand new three-storey residential block to the rear of the site, with a striking saw-tooth roof nodding to the site’s industrial legacy.
Between these buildings, we created a private, communal landscaped courtyard — a green heart for residents to enjoy.
A Space That Grows With Its Residents
The result is a thriving, multi-layered landscape that adds charm, greenery, and long-term ecological value to the site. It creates a seamless connection between the historic and the new — a place where residents can enjoy both beauty and biodiversity.
In my capacity of a new homes developer ‘Fenwood Estates Limited’ I have been working with Encon for over 10 years now. For every new site Encon have designed a full landscape scheme ticking all of the relevant planning boxes, in previous times they supported Fenwood with the roll out of the Code for Sustainable Homes across our sites and in more recent times with the Ecology and Bio Net Gain elements that we require, they have conducted surveys, reports and calculations to support all of our planning applications. The team are amazing, easy to talk to, quick to react when required and cost effective to say the least. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Encon Associates to anyone in the industry, they certainly give a 5 star service as a minimal!
