What is a Right to Light Survey?

A right to light survey is an assessment conducted to determine whether a new development will infringe upon the legal rights of neighboring properties to receive adequate natural light. This type of survey is particularly important in densely populated urban areas where new constructions or extensions might block sunlight from reaching existing buildings.

Ensures that any new development complies with relevant laws and guidelines regarding light obstruction.

How it can help you?

This type of survey can benefit residential property owners by enabling them to take legal action against developments that would significantly reduce the light entering their windows.

Similarly, developers can avoid such conflicts by commissioning a right to light survey early in the planning process. Many developers are unaware that a project can progress through design, drawing, and tendering phases without considering the legal rights to light. As a result, many of our clients seek our advice only after reaching an advanced stage in their build.
