Associations

Through engagement with the various institutes representing the professions that work within the practice, we seek to share knowledge with other professionals to advance our own understanding and help define what constitutes good practice.  



This includes being actively engaged in the RIBA, the Landscape Institute and the RTPI, as well as our chair Ben Derbyshire’s current role as President of the RIBA. We are also active participants in other housing focused organisations including the Housing Forum, Design for Homes, and Design Offsite.

The Landscape Institute (LI) is the chartered body for the landscape profession. The LI’s aim, through the work of its members is to protect, conserve and enhance the natural and built environment for the public benefit.

HTA supports the objectives of the LI through regular engagement and significant volunteer time from senior practitioners. HTA Partner James Lord sat on the London branch committee 2010-2012, chaired the housing working group and published ‘Profitable Places - why housebuilders invest in landscape’ in 2014 and was elected to the LI board of trustees as honorary secretary from 2015-2019.
