Verified Views (AVRs) in London

The assessment viewpoint is established through the project team's agreed view schedule. Record the location, camera height, orientation and purpose of every view. Where the London View Management Framework applies, identify the designated view and required representation level explicitly. Borough-level and wider assessment requirements are separate briefing matters; the studio does not choose a favourable camera and treat that composition as accepted evidence.

Agree photography access and capture arrangements before detailed modelling. A public street position, restricted roof position and wider skyline viewpoint introduce different practical requirements. Record the agreed scenario and which existing, consented or proposed context is required. The geographic label London alone does not define those inputs.

The records accompany the image to make its source and method traceable. The brief identifies the photography, survey reference, camera matching procedure and issued model revision. Review the matched geometry before final surface and lighting work. Any supporting report follows the assessment team's required presentation and methodology rather than a generic marketing-image description.

AVR Levels 0–3 and Landscape Institute Visualisation Types 1–4 are separate classifications. Confirm the requested system and level in writing; a realistic surface finish does not establish verification. Document viewpoint identifiers consistently across photographs, model checks and delivered images so the evidence set remains readable.

Assessment scenarios are reviewed against the agreed source information and view schedule. Check camera alignment, geometry and included context before approving final presentation. Revised height, massing or surrounding development affects the relevant views and their records, not only the appearance of one image.

Deliver the agreed assessment images with viewpoint labels, model revisions and supporting documentation. Keep promotional crops separate because they do not replace the specified evidence presentation. A verified image documents a representation method; the planning and assessment teams determine its significance, and the image does not guarantee consent.
