Reports and advice that unlock development potential.

They provided a very professional & efficient service. Clearly explained the process & kept all parties informed throughout.
On the front foot with both the developer & architect from day 1 and provided a statement for local media after submitting their planning objection on my behalf.

contacted Right to Light Consulting and spoke with Joe Palmer, Senior Right of Light Surveyor. After providing some initial details, Joe offered a clear, concise overview that enabled me to make an informed decision not to proceed with a full survey.
Joe was honest, professional, and efficiently addressed all my questions. I truly appreciated this approach, which was both refreshing and valuable. It was a relief to engage with a company that took the time to assist with a general inquiry without resorting to a hard sell of their services. This thoughtful, customer-first approach saved time and resources for everyone involved.
Excellent service – many thanks!

“I was extremely depressed and stressed when my neighbour objected to my extension over claims about loss of light and sunlight. My architect even told me it likely wouldn’t be possible to move forward, and I felt completely stuck.

Then I luckily spoke to Matthew, Senior Light and Sunlight Surveyor – and I cannot believe how helpful he was. He gave me clear, expert, honest guidance without charging me a single penny, and explained exactly what applies and what doesn’t. He pointed out things no one else had mentioned, and gave me the confidence and facts to proceed.

Following exactly the advice Matthew gave me, my planning application has now been approved! He is knowledgeable, fair, incredibly generous with his time, and genuinely cares about helping people rather than just taking on paid work. If you’re worried about light/sunlight objections, speak to him first – you won’t regret it. I can’t thank him enough!”

I have used Right of Light Consulting for a number of projects and planning applications. Alice and her team are very knowledgeable, helpful, quick to respond and provide their assessments. I would not hesitate to recommend them!

Right of Light worked with us on a large Class MA office to residential conversion in Worthing. This was a constrained project that presented numerous challenges with responses required on a tight schedule. The team provided a fantastic service with a thorough and professional lighting survey and report with further responses provided to justify the scheme. I will be certainly be using Joe and the team for future projects and would have no hesitation in recommending Right of Light to others.
