Node prepared a heritage, townscape and visual impact assessment (HTVIA) and worked with the wider design team to create proposals for three new buildings, to include a tall building of 37 storeys in height, on a large city block in Southside, within central Birmingham.
The scheme required careful consideration of many heritage and townscape sensitivities, including the proposed demolition of four buildings which were considered non-designated heritage assets by Birmingham City Council, together with the scheme’s inter-visibility with a large range of key viewpoints and across the city centre, together with townscape receptors in the more local vicinity.
Node delivered a robust townscape, heritage and visual impact (HTVIA) report in support of the planning application. The team provided detailed professional and technical support, including historic building recording of the non-designated heritage assets within the site, townscape assessment, and visual appraisal supported by Zones of Theoretical Visibility and 3D modelling.
Throughout the assessment the team liaised with Birmingham City Council and other stakeholders as mediator between the development team and decision makers.
