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.
