LIGHTING REVIEW FOR PLANNING
APPLICATIONS & DISCHARGE OF CONDITIONS

A good lighting design means an outdoor lighting installation is being adequately controlled to prevent light pollution and nuisance during night-time. This could be a resident’s sleep disturbed by light shining into a bedroom window, our view of the night sky being blinded by sky glow, glare (the uncomfortable intensity brightness of a light source) and impact on nocturnal wildlife such as bats, or adversely affect fauna & flora, not to mention the potential for wasted energy and increase in carbon emissions.​We work with local authority planning officers, housing developers and architects to assess and minimise potential effects of obtrusive light from outdoor lighting and ensure compliance to permissible tolerances of GN01/20 and CIE 150: 2017.
