Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA) is a crucial process for any development within Eryri National Park. It helps to identify and evaluate the potential impacts of a proposed project on the landscape and visual amenity of the area. This assessment ensures that developments are sensitive to the environment and minimize any negative effects on the park’s unique character. Understanding the LVIA process is essential for developers, self-builders, and planning agents seeking permission in this protected landscape.
The LVIA process typically involves several stages, including scoping, baseline studies, impact assessment, and mitigation. Scoping determines the key issues and areas of concern. Baseline studies establish the existing landscape and visual conditions. Impact assessment predicts the potential effects of the development. Mitigation measures are then proposed to reduce or eliminate any adverse impacts. These measures might include careful site selection, sensitive design, and appropriate landscaping.
