Frequently Asked Questions
What is a landscape plan for a solar PV project?
A landscape plan for a solar PV project shows proposed planting, screening, vegetation removal and mitigation measures for the development. It forms part of the planning application and demonstrates how the site will be managed to minimise visual and ecological impact.
Is a landscape plan required for a solar farm in Ireland?
A landscape plan is almost always required for ground-mounted solar farms in Ireland. Local authorities expect to see proposals for boundary hedgerow retention, mitigation planting and screening to reduce visual impact on the surrounding area.
Do you coordinate with LVIA consultants?
Yes. Where clients supply a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA) or arboriculture report, we use those findings to inform the landscape plan, ensuring consistency between the assessment and the planning drawings.
What information do you need to prepare a landscape plan?
We need the proposed site layout, existing boundary conditions, LVIA or arboriculture report where available, and any planning authority landscape requirements or conditions.
