From Havering to Hillingdon, from Barnet to Bromley, our daylight sunlight assessments will enhance your planning prospects by ensuring that you follow the Buildings Research Establishment (BRE) guidance required to maintain British Standards. This assessment is a common request for building projects across the boroughs of London, and we will ensure that you receive the comprehensive assessment you need to fulfil your planning obligations as quickly as possible.
A daylight sunlight assessment determines the interrelationship between a proposed building or extension and those surrounding it to establish whether overshadowing will affect the skylight and sunlight received through windows and in green spaces. This phenomenon can create amenity issues, especially in cities like London where taller buildings are often interspersed with smaller ones, and this can ultimately lead to objections and planning refusal, costing you time and money to resolve.

When is a daylight and sunlight assessment required?
An assessment is required when a new building or extension has the potential to affect residences and office spaces in those buildings surrounding it. The assessment may also have to consider the impact upon parks and gardens. Our bespoke software has the capability to model the effects upon all of these receptors so you’ll know the impact of your proposed development, and thus can make informed design choices that will streamline the planning process.
How is daylight and sunlight assessed?
More information about our bespoke modelling process can be found here. The overall outcome of the report will show you whether your proposed development would create an acceptable impact in accordance with BRE 209, with recommendations for how to move your project forward in the event it does not comply with the guidance.
