Verified Views – Frequently Asked Questions

What information do you need to get started?

We typically require the proposed design in 3D format (Revit, SketchUp, Rhino or similar), a topographical survey in DWG format, site address and planning context, and confirmation of agreed viewpoints if available. If viewpoints have not yet been agreed, we can assist in early-stage selection alongside your planning consultant.

How long do Verified Views take?

Most commissions take between 2 and 4 weeks, depending on the number of viewpoints, site access requirements and complexity of the surrounding context. Early engagement helps streamline programme and avoid abortive work.

Do you work with planning & TVIA/ LVIA and HIA consultants?

Yes. Our visuals are technically robust for planning submission while remaining clear and accessible for public exhibitions, consultation boards and committee presentations.

How accurate are Verified Views?

Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with planning consultants, townscape specialists and landscape architects to ensure that all views align with TVIA, LVIA and HIA requirements and Local Planning Authority expectations.

What are AVR levels 0, 1, 2 and 3?

Our views are based on survey-verified camera positions and GPS-aligned 3D models. Lens type, focal length and camera height are recorded and documented, producing defensible visual evidence suitable for planning scrutiny.

Are your 3D Visuals suitable for public consultations?

Yes. Our 3D visuals are technically robust for planning submission while remaining clear and accessible for public exhibitions, consultation boards and committee presentations.

Can the AVRs be updated if the design changes?

Yes. Provided the camera position and survey alignment remain unchanged, we can update the 3D model and regenerate the views without repeating photography or surveying.

Do you provide a methodology report?

Yes. Each project includes a clear, auditable methodology statement documenting camera coordinates, surveyed control points, lens data and technical process, in line with Landscape Institute guidance.

Is your work compliant with the LVMF?

Yes. Our methodology complies with the London View Management Framework (LVMF) and Landscape Institute Technical Guidance Note 06/19. Where required, we also align with Historic England guidance and local policy.

Do you work outside Greater London?

Yes. Although based in London, we operate nationwide and regularly deliver verified views across the UK.

Are you insured for large-scale developments?

Yes. Eye-kon carries £4 million Professional Indemnity Insurance, providing appropriate cover for major and sensitive planning applications.

Can you assist with viewpoint selection?

Yes. We often support early-stage discussions to help identify robust viewpoints that satisfy Local Planning Authority requirements while minimising unnecessary abortive work.

The Technical Standards Behind Our Work

Architect-led Precision

Our work is led by qualified architects with over 20 years’ experience producing Accurate Visual Representations. We understand design intent as well as technical compliance, ensuring every view is both architecturally accurate and technically robust.

Full LPA and LVMF Compliance

All verified views are produced in strict accordance with the London View Management Framework (LVMF) and Landscape Institute Technical Guidance (TGN 06/19). We deliver planning-ready visuals designed to withstand officer and committee scrutiny.

Survey-integrated Accuracy

We align 3D models to GPS-synchronised survey data, ensuring precise correspondence between model and photography. Every camera position, lens specification and coordinate is recorded and fully traceable.

Transparent, Auditable Methodology

Each commission is supported by a clear and comprehensive methodology report documenting camera locations, surveyed control points and technical parameters for Local Planning Authority review.

Proven Performance on Sensitive Sites

We have a strong track record delivering verified views for developments within conservation areas and heritage-sensitive contexts, where visual impact is critical to approval.

Professionally Insured

Eye-kon carries £4 million professional indemnity insurance, providing the level of protection required for major UK planning applications.
