Planning condition support · UK-wide
A clear lighting submission starts with the condition, the proposed fittings and the places that need protection. Discuss your external lighting assessment, lux contour plan or construction-phase lighting requirements with our team.
Tell us about your project
Include your proposed fittings, site plan and any ecology report. We will confirm the assessment and specialist inputs needed before quoting.
Your condition, translated into a clear brief
Permanent lighting, temporary site floodlighting and ecology-sensitive schemes need different inputs. We identify the appropriate assessment before agreeing the scope.
For proposed lighting around buildings, access routes and outdoor spaces.
For temporary floodlighting and site working arrangements.
The submission pack
Your quotation sets out the deliverables for your project. The pack can include the following, depending on the condition and agreed scope.
The agreed lighting arrangement and predicted light distribution, based on the project information and luminaire data.
A schedule of the proposed fittings, mounting arrangements and operating controls relevant to the assessment.
A clear response to the condition and the agreed assessment criteria, with assumptions and limitations stated.
A straightforward process
One clear brief from the start, with responsibilities and missing information identified before work begins.
Send the condition, site plan, lighting proposals and any ecology or council comments.
We agree the assessment scope, required manufacturer data, specialist input, fee and programme.
The agreed drawings and report are prepared for review. Council assessment and any further survey work are separate.
Fee, programme & coverage
A quotation based on the actual condition, site complexity and information available.
Fee
Project-specific
The deliverables, specialist input and exclusions are confirmed in your quotation.
Preparation
Agreed programme
Timing is confirmed after reviewing the brief. Council assessment is a separate stage.
Coverage
UK-wide
Project experience across UK council areas, with local requirements checked for your site.
The people behind the reports
Engineering knowledge and practical project experience across the UK. A team you can speak to about your next step.

Before you appoint us
Have the condition wording to hand? Send it with your enquiry so we can give you a relevant answer.
It shows predicted illuminance across an area using lines or bands of equal light level. It helps explain where light is expected to fall; the result depends on the proposed fittings, geometry and modelling assumptions.
No. Temporary site lighting and permanent operational lighting have different uses, durations and controls. Tell us which your condition addresses so the report covers the correct phase.
Provide the ecology report and exact wording. The lighting approach must be informed by the site’s ecological findings. We confirm the specialist review and any additional work needed before accepting the scope.
Not automatically. A lighting assessment is not a replacement for ecological survey work. Any specialist input or survey requirements will be identified and separately agreed in the quotation.
The applicable council requirements and agreed criteria are considered alongside relevant lighting guidance, including ILP guidance on obtrusive light. For bat-sensitive sites, the ILP and Bat Conservation Trust guidance informs coordination with the ecologist.
Once we have reviewed your condition, drawings and lighting information, we can confirm the fee and preparation programme. Council review is separate; no planning outcome is guaranteed.
