Townscape advice
Heritage plays a significant role in most major developments — we can help you see the bigger picture. We provide input to feasibility and masterplan studies through Townscape and Visual Impact Assessments (TVIA) or Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) chapters where substantial additions will impact your site’s surrounding townscape. We cover dense inner-city sites, often in historically sensitive settings; brownfield sites; out-of-town and rural locations and can address the impacts of new buildings and additions in natural settings.
We base our townscape work on historical research and site analysis, identifying key strategic and local views that are relevant to a proposal. We have developed a collaborative relationship with many London boroughs and have strong working relationships with the leading visualisation companies that provide townscape views. We have advised on a number of important development sites across London, leading to consents which enhance the local townscape and sites of national and international importance.
