LVIAs
We produce Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments [LVIAs] and Townscape Assessments [TVIAs] for a diverse range of developments, in particularly, residential and energy schemes. These are on various scales with different levels of sensitivity. We follow best practice as put forward in the GLVIA (3rd edition 2013). We use GIS in our baseline studies, our reports include photographic evidence, diagrams and GIS mapping to support our analysis of anticipated effects of the development on landscape character and visual amenity. we have experience as an expert witness in Public Inquiries with regard to landscape and visual matters.
