Scenario
As an independent landscape consultant who has been drafted in by the local community who object to the planning application. This report critically examines the LVIA (Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment) which was conducted as part of the planning application. It involves the production of some elements from the LVIA, including visability analysis (using a Zone of Theoretical Visability - ZTV) to identify areas that the development would be visible from real life data collected on site. Viewshed analysis would be done by creating photomontages to foresee how the proposed development would change the landscape.
