Node were commissioned by Sama Investments Ltd to undertake a heritage, townscape and visual impact assessment for a site known as Perryian Works, located at 1 Lancaster Circus, a gateway site in Birmingham city centre.
The scheme required careful consideration of many heritage and townscape sensitivities given the proposal to demolish a candidate non-designated heritage asset, and the scale of the proposed development. This included the relationship with nearby listed buildings and the scheme’s inter-visibility with a number of sensitive viewpoints across the city centre.
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 heritage assessment, townscape assessment, visual appraisal supported by zones of theoretical visibility modelling and 3D modelling through the use of VuCity.
The team liaised with Birmingham City Council to confirm thescope of the commission, ensuring that adequate, well-evidenced information wasavailable to decision makers.
