Landscape and Visual Appraisal (LVA) is a tool for predicting and evaluating the effects of a development on the surrounding landscape character, heritage features and on views from the surrounding area. It aims to achieve avoidance, reduction or mitigation of detrimental effects identified. The appraisal follows the principles set out in GLVIA 31. In line with the current guidance, the effects on landscape and on views/visual amenity are appraised separately. 2. Lucy Batchelor-Wylam was initially appointed in September 2018 to provide a Landscape and Visual Appraisal to support outline planning application (DC/18/02155), for land adjacent to ‘Freshfields’, on Lambs Lane, Lawshall. That application was successful and permission was granted in November 2018 for 5no. dwellings. 3. This report now jointly supports 5 seperate individual full applications (2 bungalows and 3 houses) in more or less the same positions as before, collectively henceforth referred to as ‘the Site’.
