Daylight/Sunlight Assessment

 

In circumstances where there is a potential adverse impact upon the current levels of sunlight/daylight enjoyed by adjoining properties or building(s), including associated gardens or amenity space then applications may also need to be accompanied by a daylight/sunlight assessment.

 

Further guidance is provided in, for example, BRE guidelines on daylight assessments. For example, Site layout planning for daylight and sunlight: a guide to good practice. BRE Report 209, 1991.

 

Planning permission does not confer any immunity on those whose works infringe another’s property rights, and which might be subject to action under the Rights of Light Act 1959.
