LVIA

Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA) is a systematic process used to evaluate potential impacts of proposed developments on the landscape character and visual amenities of an area. At epd Landscape, our experienced landscape architects prepare comprehensive LVIA reports tailored for UK planning applications across commercial, residential, and renewable energy sectors.

Our assessments identify key visual receptors, evaluate landscape sensitivity, and establish effective mitigation strategies to ensure new developments integrate harmoniously into their natural surroundings. Explore our recent LVIA projects and planning assessment portfolios below.
