Assessments of sunlight and daylight to buildings and external areas within the planning process.
Local Authority Planning Departments are able to request a developer to provide an assessment of Daylight and Sunlight as part of the planning application.
At this stage, it should be noted that the Daylight and Sunlight Tests are integral to the Planning system.
These tests are completely separate from the Legal Right to Light which uses completely different parameters to assess the acceptability of light implications on a neighbouring property.
