Light Impact Assessment
Professional Light Impact Assessments to ensure your project complies with local planning regulations and promotes sustainable, environmentally responsible lighting design.
At DLX Lighting, we deliver qualified assessments that analyse how artificial lighting affects surrounding areas, wildlife, and neighbouring properties. Our reports support planning approval, reduce environmental impact, and demonstrate compliance with lighting and environmental standards.
Why Impact Assessments Matter.
Planning Permission
Many local councils and planning authorities now require a Light Impact Assessment (LIA) as part of the approval process. Submitting a professional report upfront helps avoid delays and increases the likelihood of planning consent later down the line.
Environmental Protection
Artificial lighting can affect wildlife, ecosystems, and the night sky. An LIA identifies potential issues such as light spill, glare, and skyglow, and provides solutions to reduce light pollution while protecting local habitats.
Compliance
Light assessments ensure your project meets relevant industry standards, environmental guidelines, and sustainability targets. This includes consideration of government regulations, dark sky policies, and best practice codes of practice.
