Environment & amenity
Evidence assessing daylight and sunlight considerations for the proposal and its neighbours.
Daylight and sunlight evidence is useful where building changes could affect neighbouring accommodation or where the proposal’s own amenity needs to be tested. Reliable geometry and an agreed assessment scope are essential.
Specialist assessment uses the supplied drawings or model and relevant surrounding context to test the agreed receptors and spaces. The report explains methods, assumptions, results and the implications for the proposal, with design options considered where instructed.
You receive the agreed assessment and supporting results. Revised geometry or additional scenarios can require a further assessment, so the design version and surrounding information must be established at the outset.
Accurate drawings or a model, surrounding context and proposed use.
We review the site, proposal and planning stage to agree the appropriate scope. Specialist surveys and assessments are coordinated where needed.

Make an enquiryChanges to height, massing, windows or surrounding information may affect the assessment results. We review the revised geometry and agree whether an updated model or further assessment is needed.
Accurate drawings or a model, surrounding context and proposed use.
The price shown is a starting estimate for the stated scope. We review the site, proposal, available information and required deliverables, then confirm the fee, exclusions and programme in a written quotation before appointment.
We bring the relevant planning consultants and specialist providers into a coordinated project team. They work from an agreed brief and current proposal, with dependencies and design changes discussed across disciplines. Each consultant remains responsible for their own professional advice and agreed deliverables.
PART OF A COORDINATED APPOINTMENT
This service can form part of a wider coordinated planning appointment. We bring the relevant consultants together to work alongside your design team, discuss assessment findings and identify how recommendations affect other reports and the proposal.
Your fee proposal confirms who prepares each document, the information it relies on and the limits of the instruction. A report provides evidence for the council’s assessment; the planning decision remains the council’s. Explore how our consultants work together or discuss the team your project needs.
