Project 04 · Rights of Light Technical Review

Rights of Light Technical Advisory

Adjoining Owner Rights of Light — Technical Review & Negotiation Support

Technical Rights of Light support was provided in relation to a proposed neighbouring development affecting an adjoining residential property. The instruction involved reviewing third-party technical information and 3D model data, checking the analytical geometry and relevant modelling assumptions, and undertaking Rights of Light analysis to establish the extent of potential loss of light.

The technical findings were then used to support discussions with the development team and their advisers, including the review of analysis results, identification of technical discrepancies and consideration of revised information during the negotiation process.

Illustrative anonymous terrestrial laser-scanning workflow transitioning from registered point-cloud data to coordinated CAD geometry

Previous Professional Experience

Reality Capture & Point Cloud Experience

In addition to analysis-ready 3D modelling, previous professional project experience includes on-site terrestrial laser scanning using the Leica RTC360 across complex urban building environments.

This experience covered the wider survey-to-model workflow, from carrying out scan positions on site through to scan registration, point-cloud processing and preparation of coordinated survey data for downstream CAD modelling and technical analysis.

Experience includes

On-site terrestrial laser scanning using Leica RTC360
Building and urban-context survey capture
Multi-position laser scan acquisition
Scan registration
Point-cloud processing
Review and quality control of registered survey data
Preparation of coordinated point clouds for CAD workflows
Point-cloud interpretation and 3D modelling
Integration of survey geometry into analysis-ready models
Downstream Daylight, Sunlight and Rights of Light workflows

This practical reality-capture experience provides a detailed understanding of the complete process behind survey-based modelling—from data acquisition in the field through to coordinated 3D geometry and technical analysis.
