Light pollution
Measures are in place to ensure that light pollution is maintained to a minimum. However, there are certain premises where high levels of light are required for safety and security reasons:
- Public service vehicle operating centres
- Goods vehicle operating centres
- Railway premises
- Bus stations and associated facilities
Problem lighting that may be viewed as a statutory nuisance is determined by an investigation which looks at many factors. This could include the:
- character of the area
- duration of the problem
- times at which it occurs
- activities into which it intrudes
