What is a verified view?

A verified view is a highly accurate photomontage that shows how a proposed development will appear within its real-world setting. It follows strict technical standards so planning officers can rely on it when assessing an application.

Verified Views are also referred to as:
Accurate Visual Representation (AVR)
Verified Visual Images (VVI)
Visually Verifiable Montages (VVM)

Do I need a verified view for my planning application?

Many planning authorities request verified views for significant or sensitive developments, especially in protected or high-profile locations. We can advise you based on your project and local requirements.

What information do you need to start?

Typically, we need viewpoint locations, an architectural model (or architectural drawings so we can create one). We’ll guide you through the process to make sure everything is captured correctly.

How accurate are your visuals?

Visual Horizon use a methodology that is guided by the relevant sections of:
The Landscape Institute – Visual Representation of Development Proposals – Technical Guidance Note (September 2019)
The Landscape Institute/IEMA – Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (3rd edition 2013)
The Revised SPG London View Management Framework (March 2012)
Visual Representation of Wind Farms Version 2.2, February 2017, Scottish Natural Heritage

Our verified views are created using survey data, precise camera matching, and bespoke alignment methods to ensure accuracy you can trust.

Can you help if my deadline is tight?

Yes, with efficient site photography, clear communication, and streamlined workflows, we can often meet short timescales without compromising on quality.
