Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA)

Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA) can be key to effective planning decisions since it helps identify the effects of new developments on views and on the landscape itself. These effects can be quite different. Some developments can have visual effects but none on landscape character and some vice versa. A depth of analysis and understanding of these two interrelated aspects is required to produce a successful LVIA.

In accordance with the GLVIA guidelines 2013 we provide impartial consultancy on behalf of organisations, architects and consultants to produce LVIA reports, the assessment is undertaken in accordance with the guidelines as well as the information provided by the design team.
