ASSESSMENT AT THE OUTSET

LANDSCAPE ASSESSMENT

"The LVIA provided a subjective view of the impact of the development and showed clear areas for mitigation of its effects and enhancement of the setting."

Whether producing Landscape Assessments or working as part of a multi-disciplinary team on Environmental Impact Assessment, our aim is to help deliver well planned, sustainable development. Whether mitigating potential effects or maximising the benefits of a scheme, we work closely with Clients, Stakeholders and other professionals to achieve the best scheme from the outset. 

We love carrying out landscape assessment and this forms a large part of the workload at present, with projects ranging from Cornwall to Norfolk including Townscape and Visual Impact Assessments in London. Large housing schemes, solar farms, carehomes - all require a unique approach based on the robust methododolgy of the LVIA process.

Landscape Assessment is the key to getting it right, and a deep understanding of the landscape, its assets and its sensitivities is crucial to making the right decisions.

There are numerous ways to improve the environment and landscape, both visually and physically.  Landscape and Visual Impact Appraisals, carried out at the very outset of the design development, will ensure the best outcome for all concerned and will help the scheme through the planning process. Engaging us prior to site design allows the constraints of the site to be fully understood and often saves thousands, eliminating the need for costly redesigns.

So, if you have a project in the pipeline, head first to Classic Landscape Architecture Ltd to get an assessment underway.
