Our team is RICS regulated and has been preparing daylight and sunlight reports for Essex schemes for over a decade. Where a scheme touches a sensitive boundary, early input on massing can save a redesign at the validation stage. For developments large enough to affect a neighbour's legal entitlement, rights of light assessments sit alongside the planning piece.
Where ground-level amenity matters, overshadowing analysis and a sunpath study sit alongside the main report. Trees within scope are factored in, and any redesign suggestions sit in the report so the planning officer at Basildon Borough Council can see the design logic. A typical turnaround is 2 to 3 weeks from instruction.
Calls come through to a qualified surveyor rather than a call centre, and a free initial assessment runs through the likely scope before any fee is committed. This is a bespoke surveying service shaped to the scheme rather than a templated output.
Reports are turned around in 2 to 3 weeks. Where works also affect a shared boundary, party wall services sit alongside the daylight piece. For early-stage advice on whether a study is needed, the free initial assessment is the way in.
