Venue Photography evidence for planning use
Local knowledge matters on a planning application — knowing which windows catch the sun and which lanes take a van saves time. 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.
Context

The short version: interior + exterior + aerial pack for marketing site and brochure. Framing is faithful to viewpoint, not commercially attractive — the LPA is the audience.
