Lighting design for biodiversity to support & discharge planning conditions
Architectural lighting, sensitive to nature.
Welcome
Ecological Lighting Solutions is an independent, architectural lighting design practice based in the south-west of England, specialising in wildlife-friendly lighting impact assessments.
Strengthen a planning application
Baseline lighting surveys, bat-friendly lighting design for biodiversity, and lighting impact assessments, support planning applications by mitigating detrimental light spill and reduce the likelihood for further ecology surveys.
Discharge a planning condition
Compliant lighting schemes conveyed via lux contour plans and technical specifications, satisfy ecology-friendly planning constraints, for commercial, industrial, residential, and educational projects, enabling building works to proceed without delay.
When should I consider lighting?
Once you have an architectural concept it is a good idea to consider lighting impact assessment and design, to confirm that your vision is viable for planning. To achieve specific lighting effects, precise construction details will be required. Therefore, the sooner you engage with an ecological lighting designer the greater the number of options you will have.
What can I expect from a designer?
After understanding your project requirements, an ecological lighting designer will provide design inspiration and listen to your feedback. A 3D digital model of your site will be built, the lighting levels calculated and adjusted until compliance is achieved, this is represented via a lux contour plan. The positions of the lights, together with their electrical circuits and controls shall then be added to your architectural drawings, accompanied by a technical specification. The complete output is a lighting impact assessment and can be used for planning, as well as tender and installation.
Which consultant is right for me?
Is your lighting specialist appropriately qualified? Do they know how to achieve a lighting design for biodiversity? Are you comfortable asking them questions? Are they manufacturer independent? Do you feel heard? Do they know how to complete a lighting impact assessment? With the right ecological lighting designer your lighting scheme should achieve an attractive result that you could not have reached on your own!
Bat-friendly lighting
The early involvement of an ecological lighting designer can minimise project delays by ensuring that your project is compliant with British Standards and Guidance Notes, planning legislation, as well as local policy.
