Landscape Character Assessment [LCA] as well as Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment are a speciality of the CAAS service. We have prepared the LCA for over a quarter of the counties of Ireland – see Map below – as well for the Howth Special Amenity Area (one of only three SAAs in the country).
We have also been extensively involved in the preparation and advancement of guidelines and policies on this topic, nationally and internationally.
Our in-house Landscape Architects offer training, mentoring and advice on all aspects of Landscape Character Assessments – these services include analysis, mapping and the development of landscape policies and objectives for incorporation into Development Plans.
