Landscape Planning
At Wharton, our experienced team adopt a holistic and design-led approach to landscape planning to create well-planned, sustainable, inspiring environments. Our creativity along with a detailed understanding of the environment and site constraints allow us to provide a space which is both beautiful and practical.
Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment
Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIAs) can be key to effective planning decisions since it helps identify the impact of new developments on aesthetics of the view and landscape itself. We advise our clients on the optimum strategy in terms of landscape mitigation of adverse impacts and the best means of presenting the issues when applying for planning. An LVIA is a component of a multi-topic Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). EIA is required to accompany planning applications for developments with significant environmental effects.
Landscape and Visual Appraisal (LVA)
Even when a project does not require a full Environmental Impact Assessment, it may still need a Landscape and Visual Appraisal (LVA) to explain its effects on the landscape and visual resource, particularly where issues of landscape character and quality are important elements of a planning application – for example, a development in an Area of High Landscape Value or of particular urban or rural character.
