Assisting Developers

Daylight and Sunlight UK can assist developers to achieve planning permission by helping to ensure that designs comply with relevant daylight and sunlight criteria according to the Building Establishment Report 209 “Site layout planning for daylight and sunlight: A guide to good practice” (the BRE Guidelines).

Once a design has been fixed, a fully independent and comprehensive report can be prepared to accompany planning applications. As a developer it is advisable to consider daylight and sunlight issues from the outset of a project. By instructing Daylight and Sunlight UK at an early stage, we can help to maximize the site development potential without causing an unacceptable loss of light to neighbouring buildings and avoid difficulties with obtaining planning permission or the possibility of a rejected application.
