Lighting
We work across the UK to provide specialist lighting assessments in accordance with industry and environmental guidelines.
We use advanced computer models to analyse baseline and project-specific data to predict potential light levels and their impact in order to reduce nuisance complaints, costs, and unwanted planning delays. Our comprehensive services include external and internal daylight impact assessments, overshadowing assessments, and light pollution assessments among others.
From our surveys and analysis, we provide every client with a bespoke planning report that can be used within an Environmental Impact Assessment. Our consultants also work with developers and architects to ensure buildings meet necessary sustainability and health & wellbeing guidelines.
