We are a team of experienced, Chartered Landscape Architects providing Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments (LVIAs) and Townscape and Visual Impact Assessment (TVIAs) as a specialist service.

We are truly passionate about landscape and strive to make every project a success. 

Our approach

We are a specialist consultancy led by Chartered Landscape Architects, combining professional expertise with a clear, evidence-based understanding of the planning system across England and Wales. Our approach unites technical rigour with creative insight, allowing us to provide balanced and pragmatic advice at every stage of the development process.

We deliver expert landscape and townscape planning advice to support development proposals from early concept design through to planning submission. Our team specialises in the preparation of Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments (LVIA) and Townscape and Visual Impact Appraisals (TVIA), guiding clients through complex landscape sensitivities and ensuring that proposals respond appropriately to their context.

Our work is grounded in a robust understanding of national and local planning policy, ensuring every assessment is policy-compliant, proportionate, and defensible. We combine this with detailed knowledge of local landscape character, visual context, and the capacity of a site to accommodate change, enabling the development of clear and effective mitigation strategies where required.

With experience spanning projects from small rural developments to large residential, commercial, and mixed-use schemes, we provide tailored consultancy services that are both responsive and technically sound. As a small and focused team, we value direct communication, professional integrity, and a commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes for our clients.

All of our LVIA and TVIA assessments are prepared in full accordance with the Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (GLVIA3, 3rd Edition) and other recognised best-practice documents, including Natural England’s Approach to Landscape Character Assessment. This ensures that our reports are methodologically robust, clearly presented, and capable of standing up to scrutiny during the planning and appeal process.

Our aim is simple: to help clients secure positive planning outcomes by delivering clear, defensible, and high-quality evidence that demonstrates a thorough understanding of landscape and townscape issues. Whether supporting a planning application, an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), or an appeal, our advice is always focused on achieving well-designed, contextually appropriate, and sustainable results.

We specialise in providing LVIAs and TVIAs small to medium-sized projects, which enables us to offer a more personalised and focused approach to each project. Our expert knowledge allows us to dedicate significant attention to detail and ensures that every aspect of our LVIAs and TVIAs has been analysed in detail and assessed from different perspectives.

This specialisation also means we can be more flexible and responsive to changes or specific requests during the project lifecycle, leading to more efficient project delivery and higher client satisfaction. Our expertise in this niche ensures that we can navigate the unique challenges and opportunities that small to medium-sized projects present, providing a level of service and expertise that is both comprehensive and bespoke.
