Planning Services & LVIA’s
We are proud of our vast expertise and proven track record in Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments (LVIA’s). Our dedicated team of professionals brings its seasoned perspective and nuanced understanding to every project, helping to assess, analyse, and mitigate potential landscape and visual impacts of planned developmental projects.
We are adept at identifying key issues and potentials for enhancement early on, ensuring that landscape considerations are integrated into project design from the outset.


Innovative LVIA solutions
Each project comes with its own unique set of challenges and opportunities. As such, we prioritise adaptability and innovation in our strategies, tailoring our solutions to the specific needs of each development. Our professionals employ cutting-edge technology to predict and assess potential visual impacts and utilise 3D modelling and visualisation techniques to accurately showcase the proposed development within existing landscapes. We also consider potential impacts on local communities, habitats, and ecosystems, providing sustainable solutions that benefit all stakeholders involved.
LVIA Services & Engagement
Our Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment service provides a comprehensive analysis of the effects of new developments on the surrounding landscape. Our team of experts conduct a thorough site assessment, which includes the production of Zones of Theoretical Visibility Maps (ZTV) and research and analysis of the local/regional landscape character baseline studies.
Our team also engages with local authorities, community groups, and environmental organisations to ensure that the proposed development aligns with their visions and values. This collaborative approach not only results in successful planning approvals but also fosters positive relationships between developers and the communities they are impacting.
