Planning Services
More developers, designers and authorities want to reduce light pollution. We can help you with planning services to achieve and validate dark sky compliant lighting schemes.
As the principal in-house lighting consultant at the South Downs National Parks International Dark Sky Reserve, we have a long experience of assisting local authorities, designers and residents with submitting compliant planning applications and lighting designs.
As a desk-based service, we ensure that your lighting designs are appropriate for place and purpose, take into account core lighting principles and show sufficient additional mitigation to reduce light pollution and protect dark skies.
Outdoor Lighting Policy and Strategic Planning
An effective lighting strategy and planning policy is the cornerstone of protecting dark skies and reducing light pollution. More and more local authorities, communities and private organisations are looking to adopt strategic policies that lower their environmental impact, reduce carbon emissions, lower costs and benefit society. A lighting policy developed will help you achieve this.
We have a proven experience in writing effective, common sense and understandable local authority plans and supplementary technical guidance and documents. Let us help you develop and adopt these plans and policies.
