Landscape and visual assessment reports
We have undertaken a large number of LVA reports over the years within the Dorset AONB (now renamed the Dorset National Landscape). Our reports are informed by an overview of the relevant policy documents, particularly management plans, and our strong knowledge of rural Dorset. We specialise in preparing streamlined reports for small-scale developments in sensitive settings, often for local land agents though also working directly for local farmers. We have been successful on a number of occasions in helping clients respond constructively where planning applications have been refused for ‘landscape’ reasons.
We offer a friendly, knowledgeable LVA service, using our landscape architect skills to create the most appropriate development for its rural setting, whilst still meeting client requirements.

"We found the level of professional design service more than excellent and liaison with the team was always a pleasure. Creative, proactive landscape architects who listen to the wider team and client to generate a clear vision. It is reassuring to know that when provided with only an outline brief they took the initiative and filled in the blanks themselves. Absolutely delighted with the level of service and wouldn't hesitate to recommend further".
