Foreground and Middle Ground
363 Built elements, or elements moored on the river, should not be allowed to compromise this clear view towards the Palace of Westminster.
Background
364 Background development which breaches the skyline of the Palace of Westminster and affects its silhouette should not be supported.
365 Other development within the background of the view should enhance the composition of the view and the relationship between landscape elements and landmarks. It should also be of exceptional architectural quality. The assessment should also consider viewing positions in the viewing location, such as where the Abbey towers are seen in the gap between St Stephen’s Tower and Portcullis House.

About this site
'Looking at London' is a project that explores how people look at London and is designed to test and challenge assumptions about visual perception. It also highlights relevant guidance and regulation that has an impact on how people visually interact and respond to London.
The project’s first focus was the analysis of the Mayor's draft revised London View Management Framework (’LVMF’) that was published for consultation on June 5th, 2009. The consultation period lasted for 3 months. The final version of the documentation was published in July 2010.
The project is led by London based Hayes Davidson. Hayes Davidson employs visual analysis and research to support the study of townscape. The company reports on visual issues relating to view assessment from an objective, evidence-led basis.
All mapping analysis uploaded to this site is draft. For more information or to check individual sites please contact us.
