A Daylight & Sunlight Assessment is a detailed technical analysis that evaluates the potential impact
on daylight, sunlight and overshadowing by a proposed development.

Presentation CGIs and photomontages are used throughout the lifecycle of a project from the early design stage of a project through the planning phase and finally to secure pre-sales and market a new development.

Verified view montages are produced to provide stakeholders, design teams and planning authorities with a technically accurate and photorealistic view of a scheme in its intended location.

If you’re a property developer, architect or Irish planning consultant, you should be aware that it is now industry standard to include daylight & sunlight reports as part of a planning application to local authorities or to An Bord Pleanála.
