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.
