What is Natural Tranquillity?

Natural Tranquillity is a new scientific method for accurately measuring and assessing the tranquillity of an outdoor place. A Natural Tranquillity assessment can inform the planning process, support development applications, and model how a proposed development will affect the tranquillity of an outdoor location.

Tranquil Spaces is an essential guide for planners, developers, architects, acousticians and other professionals involved in planning or making decisions on developments likely to impact the tranquillity of outdoor places.
