Lidar viewsheds

I've been spending a lot of time looking at bare-earth DTMs recently, but this is what leaving in the trees and buildings can do for you. Viewshed analysis of a potential development site showing how much screening the trees, buildings and hedgerows provide. If it's pure black, you can't see any part of the site. Presented here as much for the aesthetic effect (though it might not seem quite so aesthetic if that was your back garden).
