Foreground and Middle Ground
262 New development in the foreground and middle ground should not compromise the existing riverscape character or obscure significant landmarks.
Background
263 New clusters of tall buildings may emerge within the Waterloo and Vauxhall/Nine Elms Opportunity Areas. Tall buildings are already consented at Vauxhall/Nine Elms and it is important that further proposals are designed to relate to and strengthen the composition of the emerging cluster there. New buildings visible to the right of Millbank Tower should not detract from the dominance of the Palace of Westminster in the view.
264 The full length of the Palace of Westminster is afforded a Protected Silhouette when viewed from any position at or between Assessment Points 15A.1 and 15A.2 (as defined by the purple lines on the photographs).

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.
