Obtrusive Light and the Environment

Obtrusive Light and the Environment

Increasingly we are seeing more concern regarding obtrusive light, this can be with respect to annoyance to people, adverse effects on fauna and flora as well as humans and an undermining of the enjoyment of the countryside and night sky at night. The Institution of Lighting professionals has long lead the way in how these concerns can be addresses, mitigated and where necessary escalated perhaps as a nuisance. Local Authority Planners reference the ILPs key guidance Note GN01 ‘The reduction of obtrusive light’ but also have other key publications that consider artificial light and wildlife as well as illuminated advertising / digital media displays for example ILP’s PLG05 ‘The brightness of illuminated advertisements.

This training course has been specially developed in terms of content and avoidance of technical language developed specifically for planners and environmental professionals, as well as other non-lighting professionals interested in the subject to explain the issues and how they may be considered and addressed
