Node were commissioned by Moda to prepare a heritage, townscape and visual impact assessment (HTVIA) forming part of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for a 37-storey building within the wider New Garden Square development, located on Hagley Road, in Edgbaston, Birmingham.
The scheme required careful consideration of many heritage, townscape and visual sensitivities, including the relationship with neighbouring listed buildings, the impact on the highly sensitive Edgbaston Conservation Area to the south, the scheme’s inter-visibility with a large range of sensitive viewpoints across the south of the city centre, together with its interface with townscape receptors in the local vicinity.
Node delivered a robust and EIA compliant heritage, townscape 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 the scope of the commission, ensuring that adequate, well-evidenced information was available to decision makers.
