It spells out what you, as a landscape architect, garden designer or contractor, need to do, and the constraints or limitations with which you must do it.Askew is currently in charge of landscaping for Peabody's Elbn, l,000ha Thamesmead Estate regeneration in south London, where 140ha of landscape and lakes will help define housing for 40,000 residents. But that landscape will itself be defined by the brief.
