ASSESSMENT RIGHTS OF LIGHT PLANNING ARCHITECTURE A combined service from Scott Brownrigg and Waldrams
Scott Brownrigg and Waldrams have joined forces to offer a unique service for assessing the development potential of sites and buildings. We combine rights of light, planning and architectural analysis to provide development parameters in terms of massing, uses and floorspace. STAGE 2 DEVELOPMENT ENVELOPE Our service is quick, expert and affordable We provide a two stage service: STAGE 1 SITE POTENTIAL This indicative site assessment is ideal prior to site acquisition or early feasibility. It identifies the main rights of light, planning and massing parameters so that an initial assessment of the likely development potential for the site can be made, including broad floorspace estimates. This can usually be carried out within a few a days of instruction and enables the client to make an informed decision about whether to proceed to a more detailed assessment in Stage 2. STAGE 2 DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS This more detailed and quantitative analysis calculates the maximum non-injunctable 3D massing for the site that will respect neighbours rights of light and if necessary daylight and sunlight standards. Along with a detailed planning assessment we are then able to produce massing and use options for the potential development envelope with more detailed floorspace estimates.
