This document LITGN-2024-01 published August 2024, provides a compilation of clarifications on the 3rd Edition of the Guidelines on Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (GLVIA3). This includes:
- Statements of clarification from 2013-2015, now withdrawn, but available as an archive version here;
- Answers provided by the Landscape Institute’s GLVIA Panel to questions raised during the Landscape Institute’s December 2020 webinar ‘GLVIA Misconceptions and Best Practice’;
- Answers provided by the Landscape Institute’s GLVIA Panel to questions raised by members, both via responses to the 2021 survey about GLVIA3 and sent to the Landscape Institute Technical email address.
A draft Notes and Clarifications on GLVIA3 document was published for LI Members Consultation in 2023. Feedback from this process was taken into consideration for the guidance.
This Technical Guidance Note supersedes all previous clarification documents, has been produced to help interpret aspects of the guidance provided in GLVIA3, and should be read alongside GLVIA3.
