Verified Views | AVRs | Visual Impact

Accurate, compliant and compelling visuals you can trust – delivered across the UK

At Visual Horizon, we create accurate visual representations (AVRs) that clearly communicate the visual impact of proposed developments. Our verified views are trusted in planning submissions across the UK for their precision, realism and transparency.

Planning Approval

We have helped secure planning approval for a range of developments in various sectors, including Residential, Commercial, Landmark, Rural and Energy Operation.

Collaborative Process

We provide a collaborative, iterative feedback process, ensuring all stakeholders have the opportunity to review and refine the visual representation of their project.

On-Time Accuracy

We understand and respect the time constraints placed on a visualiser, usually being the final cog in the machine. Our experience has allowed us to deliver everything we offer, in the fastest time possible, without sacrificing on quality or accuracy.

Verified Views offer a unique opportunity to accurately assess the visual impact of a proposed scheme.

A Verified View combines high resolution photography with CGI, using a robust methodology that is compliant with The Landscape Institute – Visual Representation of Development Proposals. It is the precise accuracy and verifiable process that sets Verified Views apart from a traditional Photomontage or CGI.

These Accurate Visual Representations support planning applications, including LVIA, TVIA, public inquiries, and planning committees

Verified Views play a crucial role in planning applications, due to the precise accuracy at every stage of the process 


Verified Views accurately simulate positioning, alignment, lighting, and materials, providing a factual basis for assessing a proposed scheme’s visual impact without subjective interpretation.

They can incorporate hard and soft landscapes, vegetation, extensions, and cumulative schemes. Views can also illustrate long-term vision, showing trees and vegetation at projected growth heights.
