Daylight/Sunlight

Image description

Many local authorities now require an assessment of the impact of a new building or extension on the natural light received by surrounding properties to be submitted as part of a planning application. 

This assessment is usually based on the BRE 'Site layout planning for daylight and sunlight - a guide to good practice' (BRE guidelines).

GA Surveyors can carry out 3D CAD asessments in accordance with the BRE guidelines and prepare reports for submission to the local authority planning department.
