The Assessment of Landscape Effects Guidance Note is now available to download.

 

Guidance for Landscape Practitioners on Navigating the Transition Period under the Planning Act 2026 provides guidance on navigating the transitional provisions of the Planning Act 2026 and their implications for landscape assessment, particularly in relation to views from private property, landscape effects and amenity values.

 

Thank you to everyone who joined us for last week’s webinar, The Planning Act 2026 and what it might mean for assessment. It was great to see such a strong turnout, and we appreciated the engaging discussion and insightful questions from members.

 

We encourage all members to review the Guidance Note and consider its implications for their work and the wider landscape architecture field.
