Planning Construction Monitoring Photography for LPA submissions
Every planning application we photograph for construction monitoring gets the same core deliverable, tuned to what the audience actually reads. Planning consultants and architects need existing-conditions imagery that stands up in an application — the shoot is scoped to LPA expectations, not to marketing.

FAQs
Questions we hear
Are the images acceptable to LPAs?
Yes — the standard delivery meets what Liverpool, Wirral and Cheshire West typically ask for in existing-conditions imagery.
Can you supply drone shots for planning?
Yes — flights are OSC-planned and permission letters are supplied on request.
Do you supply a written method statement?
RAMS for the Aigburth site are sent with the first visit and refreshed quarterly.
Can you align flight vantage points across visits?
Vantage points are logged in GPS so each Aigburth shoot stacks cleanly against the last.
How often should we schedule monitoring flights for a Aigburth site?
Monthly cadence works for most Aigburth schemes; major civils stages can be ramped to fortnightly.
Process
How the visit runs
Step 1
Brief and drawings
Floorplans, drawings or listing links for the planning application come in first; we mark up the shot list against them.
Step 2
Weather and light
The visit date is confirmed against the daylight window and wind forecast — critical for construction monitoring on this brief.
Step 3
Shoot day
Two-body ground kit plus aerial where the planning application setting warrants it; changes to the shot list are agreed on the spot.
Step 4
Review and hand-off
A curated set previews within 24 hours; the full edit lands within the construction monitoring standard turnaround.
