Please note: TGN 06/19 is currently under review.
The ability to represent the landscape or townscape that exists and any proposed changes to it is important for the landscape profession. Visual representations or ‘visualisations’ are a good means of doing this but they must fairly represent what people would perceive in the field. The sophistication of visualisation technique also needs to be proportionate to factors such as purpose, use, user, sensitivity of the situation and magnitude of potential effect.
Following an extensive process a TGN 06/19 Visual Representation of development proposals was published on 17 September 2019 in support of GLVIA3 by members of the Landscape Institute (LI) Technical Committee, in consultation with LI members and technical experts experienced in photography, photomontage and landscape and visual impact assessment.
This new Guidance Note replaces LI Advice Note 01/11, ‘Advice on Photography and Photomontage’ (withdrawn) and Technical Guidance Note 02/17, ‘Visual Representation of Development Proposals’ (withdrawn) as supplementary guidance to GLVIA3.
The new Guidance Note is also supported by a series of Technical Information Notes:
