Modifications to policy NE08 are proposed to make it clear that external lighting as part of proposed development will be supported provided inter alia it does not give rise to unacceptable impacts on night sky, or an unacceptable increase in sky glow. We agree that these modifications are necessary in order to make the BLP sound. This change is necessary to ensure the policy is not overly restrictive in terms of external lighting. As previously worded, a decision-maker could have inferred that almost anyexternal lighting would have been contrary to policy.
