CONCLUSION
32. -Minimising obtrusive light and reducing lighting energy usage are important environmental factors and compliance with this Guidance Note should result in the provision of a lighting design that minimises both obtrusive light and reduces the energy required to provide the necessary level of lighting for any installation. The key responsibility lies with those designing any lighting to ensure that obtrusive light is not caused by their lighting design. The developer also has the responsibility that the lighting installer installs what is detailed in design. As concluded in PAN 51 it is the responsibility of planning authorities and the environmental protection bodies to collaborate in the task of protecting the environment, and to apply controls so that duplication is minimised and overlap is avoided whenever possible.
