Pre-Existing Laws Still no dedicated LP laws in the UK However, 0ULR on trunk roads (Highways Authority controlled) Common law and now statutory nuisance

Planning England, Wales has PPS and PPG planning guidance PPS1 mentions light pollution as an issue PPS23 Pollution Control also does However, no dedicated planning guidance

Planning The Building Regulations do however control consumer floodlighting Exterior floodlighting of new build dwellings is limited to 150watts, or to “lamps having an efficacy greater than 40 lumens per circuit watt” Tungsten and tungsten halogen lamps do not meet this criterion

Planning Lighting Annex to PPS23 would provide this. However, DCLG has frozen all planning guidance- want to reduce the volume of guidance! Major consultation last Summer for “major infrastructure”

Planning Major infrastructure to have a special comission to decide However, clause 155 of the Bill aims to make all major infrastructure developments exempt from any form of nuisance

Planning How can a planning Commission decide on planning if it has no guidance on lighting? Compensation is supposed to be available, but how will this work? The CfDS and all other stakeholders are fighting this clause

Planning: Scotland Scotland has a slightly different planning system It has a planning guidance document for lighting Does not mention the night sky

New: Skybeams Old law was very confusing- some were permitted, but advertising beams were not permitted Case law stated they could be advertising

New: Skybeams Advertising Regulations 2007 Paragraph 155 expressly makes skybeams and light art adverts AND makes them have to apply for planning permission Enforcement is an issue However, some success in Leicester with travelling circuses, they won’t be able to return!

The Way Forward The Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution is writing a short paper on the negative effects of light Will be making recommendations (very persuasive on the Government)

The Way Forward Will almost certainly be asking where the lighting annex to PPS23 is The CfDS has made an application to control consumer floodlighting

The Recommendation “EITHER: Lamp capacity does not exceed 150W per light fitting and that the lighting automatically switches off: When there is enough daylight; and When it is not required at night b) OR: the lighting fittings have sockets that can only be used with lamps having an efficacy greater than 40 lumens per circuit watt.” AND Banning the sale of light fittings which can be angled to emit light above the horizontal. AND Limiting the maximum Wattage of tungsten halogen bulbs to 150Watts.

“Too much lighting isn't planned – it just happens” Ian Phillips, Chairman, Landscape Institute “We have reached a second watershed- that of soaring energy prices” Dr. John Mason, CfDS

And a final thought…
