Project overview

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 analytical geometry and modelling assumptions, and undertaking agreed technical analysis to establish the potential loss-of-light position.

Project challenge

Establishing a clear technical evidence base.

Information prepared by different parties required independent review. The geometry, analytical assumptions and results needed to be understood, checked and compared as revised information was exchanged.

Typical inputs

Third-party model and analysis information.

  • Third-party technical information package
  • Existing and proposed 3D model data
  • Relevant window and room geometry
  • Rights of Light analysis outputs
  • Stated modelling and analytical assumptions
  • Revised technical information exchanged during discussions

Technical workflow

Independent checking through to negotiation support.

  1. Review informationExamine the third-party model, technical package and stated assumptions.
  2. Verify geometryCheck the analytical model, relevant windows and existing/proposed relationship.
  3. Review assumptionsIdentify matters that may affect the interpretation of technical results.
  4. Undertake analysisComplete agreed technical Rights of Light analysis within the project workflow.
  5. Interpret resultsAssess loss-of-light outputs and identify technical discrepancies.
  6. Support discussionsReview revised information and provide technical support during negotiations.

Technical scope

Model review and analytical checking.

  • Third-party technical information review
  • Third-party 3D model review
  • Geometry verification
  • Existing and proposed condition assessment
  • Agreed Rights of Light technical analysis
  • Loss-of-light evaluation

Technical scope only: CAD Services Studio does not provide legal advice, determine legal entitlement, undertake valuation or damages advice, provide legal representation, prepare legal agreements or act as the legal negotiator.

Outcome

A clearer basis for Rights of Light discussions.

Provided independent technical analysis and model review to establish a clear evidence base for Rights of Light discussions and support the negotiation process.
