With the most experienced team of Daylight &amp; Sunlight surveyors in the UK, we provide assessments, reports, and advise developers, affected neighbours and local authorities.

<a href="https://www.ansteyhorne.co.uk/services/daylight-and-sunlight-assessment">Assessing the Daylight &amp; Sunlight</a> available to a proposed building is key to delivering high quality developments in increasingly dense urban areas throughout the UK.

Carefully considered design can help mitigate the impact on surrounding areas, whilst also maximizing the development potential of a site and the delivery of good quality amenity for future occupiers.

With the most experienced team of specialist surveyors in the UK, we advise the developing party, potentially affected neighbours and local planning authorities that are reviewing such matters.

Local planning authorities will typically require a formal Daylight &amp; Sunlight surveyor to provide a report to support a planning application. This will set out the impact to existing neighbours, as well as the quality of light within the proposed dwelling.

Our specialist services and analysis help translate planning requirements into pragmatic design advice. Our<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEzur3-AAtMBxNVUVD4lfTQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> 3D model</a> of many UK cities, including London &amp; Birmingham helps us to rapidly undertake analysis and calculate the existing context values in the local area for instance. This allows us to adopt alternative target values from those recommended by the BRE, maximising the development potential of a site.

We provide reports with reference to the guidelines published by the <a href="https://www.bregroup.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BRE</a>, as well as the latest British Standard for Daylighting <a href="https://shop.bsigroup.com/ProductDetail/?pid=000000000030342286" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">EN17037</a>.
