Landscape impact and integration study

Landscape is the most common reason for opposition to a development and the hardest to discuss without images. We analyse actual visibility and propose integration measures you can see before and after.

What's included

• Viewshed analysis and visibility calculation from the relevant observation points.
• Landscape characterisation and appraisal of its value and fragility.
• Photomontages and simulations from the main observation points.
• Assessment of visual impact and of the cumulative effect with other developments.
• Integration measures: siting, colour, planted screens and restoration.
• Documentation meeting the requirements of the competent landscape authority.

When you need it

• You are building a plant, a warehouse or infrastructure in a sensitive setting.
• A landscape impact and integration study is being required as part of the permitting.
• There is local opposition focused on the visual impact.
• You want to adjust the layout before finalising the construction design.

How we work

The simulations are made from where people actually look, not from wherever flatters the project. That earns credibility with the authorities and the local community, and often makes it possible to defend a scheme that would otherwise be contested.
