• Landscape Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA)
• Analyzing street patterns, height, scale, massing, pedestrian movement, landscape character, quality and features, visual amenity and receptors, impacts, sensitivity, change magnitude and night illumination effects.

My LVIAs can also include townscape and urban assessments which analyze the built form including the setting of listed buildings, conservation areas and the historical built environment in conjunction with the archaeology team.

What LVIAs Feed Into: We can provide LVIAs that act as standalone reports which identify developable land, provide constraints and opportunities analysis, and pre-development assessments. But LVIAs can also be provided as part of a larger Environmental Statement.

The contextual analysis of a site as part of an LVIA also contributes to Design and Access Statements by demonstrating how proposals can respond to their setting and place. They determine the nature and extent of landscape and visual effects from a proposed development, and identify opportunities for mitigation and enhancement of proposals where appropriate.
