QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

What are the consequences if a building is deemed to be non-compliant with BRE standards after it has been completed.

REPLY:

 A Daylight and sunlight assessment prepared in accordance with "The BRE Daylight and Sunlight Report (Site Layout and Planning for Daylight and Sunlight) A Guide to Good Practice 2022" is a tool that are used to inform planning application decisions. BRE Guidance is not enforceable as standalone standards or as a legislative code. If a development is considered not to be compliant with its planning permission then the Council could choose to progress Planning Enforcement.
