Visual Impact Assessments (inc. HVIAs & LVIAs)
Sweco’s heritage, archaeology and landscape architecture experts can carry out thorough Visual Impact Assessments to paint a full picture of your development and how it will affect a proposed site and its surroundings. VIAs combine technical analysis, geospatial data capture and analysis, photographic and digital visualisations, and clear professional judgement to describe the magnitude of change, the sensitivity of receptors (people, communities, heritage assets), and the resulting significance of any activity. Assessments – from desk- to field-based – support planning applications, design development, stakeholder engagement and decision-making.
Heritage Impact Assessments
Sweco’s Historic Environment and Archaeology team have a wealth of experience working on various projects including residential development, mixed-use development, infrastructure and renewables. Our specialists can therefore carry out fully integrated Heritage Impact Assessments to the highest professional and ethical standards in line with the standard and guidance set out by the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA).

Sweco is proud to have partnered with ORIS and Autodesk to develop a revolutionary tool for real-time Carbon Impact Analysis on highway projects, marking a significant leap in sustainable highway development, and setting new standards for eco-friendly design and efficiency.
