The Council will require applicants to protect local character, residential amenity and the wider public, biodiversity and wildlife from light pollution and nuisance, by:
- taking appropriate measures in lighting design and installation to control the level of illumination, glare, spillage of light, angle and hours of operation
- using energy efficient and solar powered lighting for energy conservation where feasible
- providing sensitive lighting for footpaths, cycling paths and public parking areas in the development with particular consideration of the potential adverse impact on biodiversity
- preventing the adverse impact of light pollution at all stages of development, from building demolition and construction to occupation.
