Glint and Glare Management Plan
Secure planning approval and reassure stakeholders
with a clear management plan that sets out how glint
and glare impacts will be controlled.
Mitigation Planning: Designing Out Risks
Why Mitigation Planning Matters
Even when assessments identify potential glint and glare impacts, most issues can be resolved with proportionate mitigation. Without a clear plan, consultees may object, projects may be delayed, or planning conditions imposed.
What Mitigation Planning Provides
Pager Power works with your design team to develop tailored measures that reduce reflection impacts while maintaining project viability. Options may include:
- Adjusting panel layout, tilt, or orientation for solar projects
- Incorporating screening measures such as planting or bunds
- Adapting glazing treatments or façade properties for building projects
Mitigation plans are supported by modelling outputs, visibility analysis, and clear diagrams, providing consultees with the evidence they need to accept your scheme.
Ongoing Management: Maintaining Confidence
Why Ongoing Management Matters
Planning authorities and consultees often require assurance that mitigation will be effective in the long term. Without an ongoing strategy, concerns about compliance can delay or complicate consent.
What Ongoing Management Provides
We prepare bespoke Glint and Glare Management Plans that set out how mitigation will be implemented, monitored, and maintained throughout the project lifecycle. These typically include:
- Implementation schedules for planting, screening, or glazing treatments
- Monitoring arrangements to confirm residual impacts are managed
- Contingency measures should unexpected reflections occur

Pager Power has helped us obtain planning permission across the UK
We first appointed Pager Power in 2004 to assess a number of wind farms in North East England resulting in objections being withdrawn by Newcastle Airport. The company has successfully helped us resolve NATS, Royal Airforce, telecommunications and minor airfield issues. Pager Power provides advice and technical analysis, are easy to talk to and deliver reports on time. Pager Power has helped us obtain planning permission across the UK including a range of onshore wind farms in North East England and Central Scotland.
