Microclimate Assessment (daylight / sunlight / wind)

In circumstances where there is a potentially significant impact upon the current levels of sunlight/daylight/wind enjoyed by adjoining properties or building(s), including associated gardens or amenity space then applications may also need to be

accompanied by an appropriate Microclimate Assessment.  Further guidance is provided in, for example, BRE guidelines on daylight assessments.
