Environment & amenity
An assessment of proposed lighting and its potential effect on the surrounding environment.
Lighting evidence is useful where proposed external lighting could affect neighbours, public spaces, landscape or sensitive ecological receptors. The assessment needs a defined lighting proposal and an understanding of the surroundings.
Specialist review considers the layout, luminaire information, operating arrangements and relevant receptors. It assesses potential effects and identifies adjustments to positioning, output, shielding or hours where needed.
You receive the agreed assessment and mitigation recommendations. A complete lighting specification and any ecological constraints should be coordinated before the final proposal is confirmed.
Lighting layout, specifications, site context and nearby sensitive receptors.
We review the site, proposal and planning stage to agree the appropriate scope. Specialist surveys and assessments are coordinated where needed.

Still have a question?
Tell us about the site and we will confirm what is needed and what it should cost.
Make an enquiryYes. Layouts, luminaire details, operating hours and site context help the specialist assess potential effects. A concept without sufficient specifications may need further design information before the assessment can be completed.

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.
