Appeals, Examination and Expert Evidence
Landscape evidence that stands up to scrutiny, for applicants and local authorities.
What it is and when you need it
When landscape and visual effects are a reason for refusal, or a key issue at examination, the quality of the evidence matters. Inspectors and Examining Authorities want clear, consistent judgements that follow GLVIA3 and are honest about effects.
We prepare landscape evidence for planning appeals and inquiries, and act for both applicants and local planning authorities on Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects.
What we provide
Independent review of an existing LVIA, its method and conclusions
Proofs of evidence and written representations for appeals and inquiries
Local Impact Reports and landscape input to Statements of Common Ground
Responses to examination questions and cumulative effects work
Support at hearings and topic meetings
