Property Photography evidence for planning use
When property is done right on a planning application, the images survive the crop and the compression. Planning consultants and architects need existing-conditions imagery that stands up in an application — the shoot is scoped to LPA expectations, not to marketing.
Proof
Where this has worked
Application imagery has supported successful submissions to Liverpool, Wirral, Cheshire West and Sefton councils.
