Planning policy requires new developments to provide sufficient daylight and sunlight for healthy living. Growing densification makes this a crucial factor to consider for responsible, future-ready developments that add value. Our industry leading expertise in daylight and sunlight analysis, supported by the latest climate-based modelling, allows us to assess potential impacts on development and neighbouring properties, and offer clear advice to design teams.
We prepare comprehensive reports for planning applications and conduct independent reviews for planning authorities or affected neighbourhoods. Our assessments comply with Building Research Establishment (BRE) guidelines, in addition to the British Standard (BS) and the European Standard (EN), as required.
Leading in policy and technical guidance, we advise clients from feasibility stage through to detailed design. Supported by specialist software, we optimise massing, density, and access to natural light, with results clearly summarised in expert technical reports.
We have resolved critical daylight and sunlight challenges across a wide range of projects, for a variety of clients, sectors and asset types. Explore our work here.
With ever increasing densities in areas of our towns and cities, internal daylight and sunlight analyses of all types of buildings are becoming progressively important factors when considering the health of our buildings and that of their occupants and how we interact within these spaces.
Providing a full range of light advisory services to support clients during the planning process, we resolve obstacles, identify opportunities, and enable confident decision making.
Our brilliant team regularly undertake complex daylight and sunlight calculations, compile robust reports, and negotiate with planning authorities.
