Can you see the Knowle development?

Below is a general indication of where the above photos were viewed from.

Planning application images

In many places the images in the application are misleading, for example this image from Salcombe Hill.
The explanation with it says it should be viewed at A3 from a distance of 467 mm ( that is 18 inches), yet the image is in an A4 document and doesn’t take up all of the available space on that page. There is a wide margin. So the image appears much smaller than it would in real life.
A 14 inch computer screen is the same size as an A4 piece of paper ( depending on its aspect ratio). So to view the image as intended it would need to be set at 200% zoom.
Added to that this base photograph was taken on a very hazy, cloudy day so the view of the more distant building’s impact on the landscape is minimised.

Below is the image when it has been run through a simple dehazing process in photographic software.

The photo below attempts to compensate for the size of image seen on a computer screen and has been run through a simple dehazing process in photographic software.

One image that they have provided shows the huge impact of the proposed building from the terraced garden.
