Verified Views are planning-compliant images that show exactly how a proposed development will appear within its real-world setting. These visuals are used by planning authorities, consultants and stakeholders to assess visual impact with clarity and confidence.
Unlike marketing visuals, verified views planning outputs are built on measurable data. They combine:
Precise site photography
Accurate camera positioning
Geographic coordinates and elevation data
Detailed 3D modelling
This ensures that what is presented in a planning submission reflects reality as closely as possible.
Our verified view surveys in Devon are typically required for:
Planning decisions rely heavily on how clearly a proposal can be understood. Verified Views provide a level of clarity that written reports alone cannot achieve.
Decision-makers can visualise the true impact of a development from agreed viewpoints.
Accurate visuals help address concerns early in the planning process.
Professional visual evidence supports planning arguments and documentation.
Outputs align with recognised guidance such as TGN 06/19.
Developers, consultants and local authorities can rely on consistent and transparent visual data.
If your project also requires supporting imagery, you can explore our wider planning visualisation services to see how each element works together.
Ocean AVR follows a structured and technically rigorous process to ensure every visual meets planning requirements.
We begin by understanding the project scope, planning context and required viewpoints. This ensures all outputs align with planning expectations from the outset.
On-site photography is carried out using calibrated equipment. Camera height, lens type and positioning are carefully controlled in line with industry guidance.
Precise coordinates and elevation data are recorded for each viewpoint. This forms the foundation for accurate visual alignment.
The proposed development is modelled using provided design data. The model is then accurately aligned with the site photography.
Final visuals are produced and checked for accuracy, ensuring they meet planning requirements and can be confidently submitted.
For further context on planning requirements, guidance from Planning Practice Guidance can help explain how visual evidence is used in decision-making.

Accurate visuals reduce the need for additional clarification.
Transparent visuals help communicate proposals more effectively.
Outputs align with recognised standards and guidance.
Verified views show realistic scale and context from agreed viewpoints.
They are used to support planning applications by showing how a development will appear from specific viewpoints.
They are highly accurate when produced correctly, using calibrated photography, survey data and aligned 3D modelling.
