Viewing instructions:
All images should be viewed in ‘full screen’ mode by clicking the ‘+’ icon in the top right of the image. When the image is opened in full screen mode you will see a scale bar at the bottom of each image. Use the scroll wheel zoom function and a ruler held against the screen to ensure the scale bar correctly measures 10cm when viewed at a normal viewing distance (approximately arms length). The size of objects in the view will then equate approximately to the size they would appear when viewed at the scene. This technique is known as ‘Real Scale’ viewing

LVMF – Alexandra Palace 1
Alexandra Palace sits on the rising ground of Muswell Hill within public parkland. The foreground, middle ground and background are distinctively separated by vegetated ridges. Two Assessment Points, 1A.1 and 1A.2 are identified in the draft LVMF. Assessment Point 1A.2 is the starting point for a Protected Vista towards St. Paul’s Cathedral.


Viewing Location 1A
Assessment Point 1A.1:
Assessment Point 1A.1 is orientated towards the City with St. Paul’s visible, although partially obscured by foliage. This position is identical to that described in the current LVMF guidance published in 2007.
The view from 1A.1 does not form a Protected Vista, consistent with the 2007 guidance.
Assessment Point 1A.2:
Assessment Point 1A.2 is orientated towards St. Paul’s Cathedral. This position is identical to that described in the current LVMF guidance published in 2007.
The Viewing Corridor from this position towards St. Paul’s has been widened from 70 metres in the 2007 guidance to 140 metres at the dome of St. Paul’s.
The Left Lateral Assessment Area has been widened from 70m in 2007 to 110m in 2009 at the dome of St. Paul’s.
The Right Lateral Assessment Area has been narrowed from 70m in 2007 to 50m in 2009 at the dome of St. Paul’s.
The Background Assessment Area has been widened from approximately 267m to approximately 381m.
The threshold height levels remain consistent between the 2007 and draft 2009 guidance.
