About Us
Planning Risk Consultants
We are a specialist planning support consultancy delivering Daylight & Sunlight Assessments and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Reports for planning applications across the UK. Our focus is simple: provide technically robust, planning-compliant reports with fast turnaround and practical design insight — helping projects move smoothly through the approval process.
We work closely with architects, planning consultants, developers, and landowners to produce clear, defensible reports that meet current guidance and local authority expectations.
Our combined expertise allows clients to obtain multiple critical planning reports from a single coordinated consultant — saving time, reducing cost, and improving submission efficiency.
What We Deliver
Daylight & Sunlight Assessments
We prepare BRE-compliant daylight and sunlight reports to support planning applications, including:
● Daylight & sunlight impact assessments
● Neighbouring amenity analysis
● 3D modelling and shadow path analysis
● Design optimisation advice where results are marginal
Our reports are structured for planning officer review and are suitable for both minor and major developments.
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Reports
We deliver complete BNG assessments and metric calculations to support planning submissions, including:
● Habitat surveys and site assessments
● Statutory metric calculations
● Baseline and post-development biodiversity values
● Habitat enhancement strategies
● Net gain compliance reporting
● Practical planting and habitat recommendations
We aim to identify cost-effective ways to achieve BNG targets while keeping designs practical and deliverable.
Our Approach
We prioritise speed, accuracy, and coordination.
Where projects require both daylight and BNG reports, we can often complete surveys during a single site visit — reducing disruption and accelerating delivery. Our workflow is designed to support tight planning timelines and purchase-linked submissions.
We don’t just produce reports — we help teams understand risk early and adjust designs where needed to improve planning outcomes.

Our Commitment to Sustainability
promote healthier, more energy-efficient environments. We believe that by optimizing natural light, we can reduce reliance on artificial lighting, lower energy consumption, and create spaces that enhance the well-being of their occupants.
Daylight assessments evaluate how much natural light a building or space will receive. This is essential for ensuring that indoor environments are healthy, comfortable, and energy-efficient.
