We help our clients maximise the full potential of their assets, whilst reducing the exposure presented by this often complex area of neighbour law.

We do this by adopting a bespoke approach to each project, to ensure we get a deep understanding of the risks and opportunities, then apply our extensive knowledge, technical expertise and creative thinking to deliver successful outcomes.

With increasing urban densification, accurate daylight and sunlight assessments are vital for responsible, commercial land development that optimises asset value, while also creating places that stand the test of time and benefit society.

We analyse daylight, sunlight and overshadowing impact using advanced climate-based modelling, generating robust reports for planning applications. At the forefront of evolving policy and meeting the highest industry standards, our expertise in this field has been trusted for over 40 years.

Successful projects rely on having full, up-to-date records of existing site conditions. The more complex the scheme, the greater the need for an efficient response with accurate information.

Using the latest laser scanning and GPS technology, we can provide 2D topographical survey plans, sections and elevations, boundary surveys, and 3D survey data and imagery for rights of light, and daylight and sunlight monitoring, often reaching otherwise inaccessible areas. In doing so, we unlock opportunities.
