The "right to light" is an easement granting a landowner the entitlement to receive natural light through specific openings in buildings on their property. At Intersect Surveys, we assist in Rights of Light analysis by providing comprehensive 2D or 3D survey information.
Right To Light
At Intersect Surveys, we provide specialist Right to Light surveys to support architects, developers, and property owners in assessing the potential impact of new developments on surrounding buildings. Our precise survey data and detailed analysis help ensure compliance with planning regulations, mitigate disputes, and preserve natural daylight access for affected properties.
Our surveys deliver comprehensive 2D and 3D survey information, enabling accurate and informed decision-making. We produce detailed 2D site plans that outline the layout of the site and its surrounding structures, providing a clear overview of potential obstructions to daylight.
Roof plans and elevation surveys offer precise representations of roof structures and building facades, helping to determine how light is distributed across the site.
For a more advanced analysis, we generate highly detailed 3D models, which create an accurate digital representation of the site and its surroundings, allowing for thorough daylight impact assessments.

At Intersect Surveys, we understand the complexities of urban development and the legal requirements surrounding Rights to Light assessments. With our expertise, technology, and commitment to delivering accurate and reliable data, we provide the insights needed to support confident decision-making.
Whether you are a developer, architect, or property consultant, our Rights to Light surveys offer the detailed information necessary to assess daylight access and navigate the planning process effectively.
