Noel Farrer is a landscape architect who has run his own award winning practice for 20 years. He is recent past president and Fellow of the Landscape Institute where he campaigns for landscape led place making. He is presently a board director at the Construction Industry Council (CIC) where he continues to promote the importance of landscape consideration and cross discipline collaboration. As a passionate advocate for the design, social and environmental importance of high quality landscapes, he contributes actively to the Government’s Design Advisory panel for housing, DC CABE’s Infrastructure and Design Panels as well as other regional panels. Noel is a regular columnist and visiting lecturer on landscape architecture. His design clients include The Royal Parks, Great Portland Estates, U+I, Peabody and many local councils, delivering projects in housing, education, parks and public realm.

Noel was brought up in the Lake District where he developed a clear understanding of the rudimentary role of natural systems in people lives. He went to college in Manchester then moved to London working first for British Rail and then for London Boroughs for 12 years before setting up Farrer Huxley Associates (FHA) a London based Landscape practice in 1995.

Noel’s work in London for over 30 years has evolved a deep passion and understanding of the nature, the people, the diverse communities and the politics that drive change in London. The landscape, its equitable role for everyone from children to the elderly has led him to continuously voice the importance and relevance of the environment of every scheme. He has worked with many authorities as well as leading thinkers and practices. He understands the wider disciplines that influence change and balances all of these when chairing multidisciplinary design panels and reviewing complex proposals.
