Chartered Landscape Architecture
LVIA
assessments
We have extensive experience particularly within the residential sector working with established clients to seek planning permissions on a range of new housing developments from 50 to 2500 dwellings.
RCLA has worked on a wide number of projects relating to urban edge sites of towns and rural villages involving sensitive receiving environments.
LVIA is one of the most important components for a successful planning application and by using thorough desktop research and a site assessment of landscape character we apply a systematic, thorough and forensic analysis of the salient and critical factors at play to assess predicted impacts.
LVIA
assessments
We work in collaboration with the design team to formulate appropriate and considered mitigation proposals to ameliorate the landscape and visual impacts, in pursuit of a sustainable and successful development and in compliance with the prevailing national and local policy and guidance.
Our LVIA product presents appraisal information and assessment with impartiality and transparency, accompanied by a non-technical summary, which conveys a clear and unambiguous conclusion.
With brevity, clarity and succinctness as a guiding light we aim to enunciate a clear, unambiguous, and transparent discussion of the salient factors at play.

assessments
We look to design sentence constructions that champion a clear analytical narrative, a narrative which is easy to read and digest.
Summarising each report we contrast the development proposals set against the national and prevailing local plan, including any relevant emerging policies.
RCLAs methodology follows the latest industry best practice Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment 3rd Edition (GLVIA3) as published by the Landscape Institute.
