BRE Daylight and Sunlight,
Done Right

Ensure Your Planning Application Is Approved with Expert Daylight & Sunlight Assessments

Your project’s success doesn’t just depend on meeting numbers—it depends on understanding them

Local planning authorities often reject or delay planning applications due to insufficient daylight and sunlight analysis. Our BRE-compliant assessments help you demonstrate that your development meets the required standards, reducing risk, avoiding delays, and saving cost..

The methodology we use for planning reports is set out in the BRE publication “Site Layout Planning for Daylight and Sunlight”.
