Planning Factsheet 2: External Lighting

Does your home suffer from intrusive outdoor lighting?

The problem may be a neighbour's anti-burglar light, the illumination of a nearby sports facility, or a lighting system protecting work premises.

However, we hope the following general responses to common queries about the planning aspects of external lighting will be helpful.
