EC Environmental we can provide visualisations including AVR in support of Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments (LVIA). Visualisations play a crucial role in Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments (LVIA) helping to clearly communicate how a proposed development will appear within its setting. Guided by the Landscape Institute’s standards, visualisations range from annotated viewpoint photographs and 3D wirelines to detailed photomontages. These illustrate anything from the basic outline and form of a proposal (Types 1–2) to highly accurate, survey-based images that show true scale, materials, and context (Types 3–4).
An Accurate Visual Representation (AVR), also known as a verified view, is a precise, scaled image that demonstrates the location, visibility, form, and materials of a proposed development. The London View Management Framework defines four AVR levels, ranging from a simple photowire showing position and size (Level 0) to a fully rendered, photo-realistic image depicting architectural detail and material finishes (Level 3). Together, these visualisation techniques provide a transparent and credible basis for assessing the visual impact of development proposals.
