Representation Summary:

Paragraph 6.16 – bullet point on lighting – needs to say more – it is about justifying the need for light in the first place, designing light so it is shielded and pointing down, of the right intensity for the job and only on when needed. This paragraph is a good start but does not go far enough and as per the comments on MW1, Policy MW1 needs to be wider than the impact of light on amenity.

Soundness test: Not justified

Change suggested by respondent:

Change criterion to say:

[Insert: 'Only using lighting if fully justified'], minimising the use of external lighting, use hooded/cowled lighting to direct light downwards, [insert: 'only have the lighting on when it is needed (use timers, on/off switches or motion sensors), make sure the intensity is appropriate for the lighting task'] and contain light within the site.
