Environmental Impact Studies
Enviromental Impact Studies are carried out in accordance with the Professional Lighting Guide PLG 04 Environmental Lighting Impact Assessments.
Environmental Impact Studies are of significant importance with regard to planning applications following the introduction of EU directive 85/337/EEC, amended in 1997 by directive 97/11/EC. In Britain this is incorporated in the Town and Country Planning Act 1999.
