I work on maps and graphics for an environmental consultancy, with a lot of work on HS2’s EIAs.
For landscape and visual we have:
- ZTVs;
- Viewpoints and photomontages;
- Lots of maps of the position/direction of said VPs and PMs;
- Lots more maps of landscape character areas, scheme design etc.
There’s matrices showing the effect on visual receptors in various scenarios - construction, operational years 1/15/30, night-time, and also little graphics showing other assessment data.
Main assessment:

Anyone know what graphical content might form part of an Environmental Impact Assessment?
I know this thread is usually for lusting over or deriding various architectural projects, but I assume there must be some folk pretty knowledgeable about the subject on a professional level here. Now I frequently get involved with the visual stuff: Verified Views and such, but I need to know what other content in an EIA might come from someone usually tasked with making things look presentable (not the actually nitty-gritty of the technical assessment). Other than 3D renders would it just be photography, plans and maybe a few graphs?
