Selly Oak LVIA

Our commission covered masterplanning and LVIA assessment for this significant retail-led, mixed-use development anchored by two large retail stores. The public realm strategy delivered legible connectivity throughout the scheme with a clear hierarchy of spaces, a series of new squares, and an arrival gateway plaza incorporating the existing W&B Canal.

We headed up the Landscape and Visual Impact consultancy testing appropriate massing options for this area south-west of Birmingham. This important work required an initial baseline investigation of the existing landscape character, before making an assessment of the landscape and visual effects of the proposed development. The report concluded with a section analysing the key mitigation measures required.
