We constantly produce visualisations for cross-examination for Public Inquiries and Planning Hearings, working with developers, the National Trust and local authorities. Our founder, Mike Spence, was involved in updating the Landscape Institute’s ‘TGN 06/19’ and supported SNH research for their ‘Visual Representation of Windfarms Guidance’. Mike has been undertaking independent research into wind turbine aviation lighting which is also being used at Public Inquiry.
Mike presented Expert Witness evidence at major Public Inquiries including the Chiswick Curve, a 2018 tower block development in West London affecting the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the West Cumbria Mine, affecting local landscape character and of COP26 international interest. He continues to provide an independent source of technical solutions for everything to do with photography, accuracy and complete transparency.

Mike and his team gave a professional service in all aspects of technical photography for the Chiswick Curve Public Inquiry. Their approach to photography, surveying and 3D modelling gave everyone great confidence in the accuracy of the visualisations of the proposed Chiswick Curve tower block in views from the internationally sensitive Kew Gardens UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Royal Botanic Gardens Kew
I just have to say that these visualisations look great. I am really pleased to have this technical level of visual support to our LVIA
The Landscape Agency
We were very impressed with the visualisations of our 50MW solar farm, as too were English Heritage and the planning authorities. Mike turned the photography and 3D modelling round at very short notice which helped keep the project on track. The visualisations also made a significant contribution to the success of our planning application.

MS Environmental provided a fast and efficient service, working closely with myself, the architect and client, to produce some excellent visualisations which have been instrumental in clearly communicating a highly detailed residential scheme with the public and planning officers.
