Control of the obtrusive effects of outdoor lighting
Provides a common basis for assessment of the likely effects of developments that involve the provision of outdoor lighting. However, it should be noted that the potentially obtrusive effects of the lighting will normally be only one of a number of environmental and ecological considerations that will need to be addressed. Conformance to this standard, i.e. to the limits for the various light technical parameters, will therefore not usually be the sole basis for the approval of particular development proposals. The effect of lighting of vertical planes including internally and externally illuminated signs, façades or objects has been included. The standard is not intended to specify signage but only addresses the obtrusive impact of these lit surfaces. In general, this standard does not apply to public lighting. However, limits have been included that can be applied when specified by the relevant authority. This was done so that obtrusive light can be controlled in areas where it may be seen as a problem without the need to calculate the impact of every streetlight. This standard applies to broadcast television lighting and limits have been included. Formally recognised sensitive locations, such as Siding Spring Observatory (Australia) and Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve (New Zealand) may have requirements in addition to this standard.
