13. Right-to-Light (Ecotect images) Right-to-light analysis in the UK involves answering three basic questions: • Are obstructions high enough for concern ? • If so, do they block too much of the sky ? • If so, is the no-sky-line of each room significantly impacted ?

14. Right-to-Light When dealing with the height of obstructions, the guidelines suggest drawing a section through the site normal to each main face of the building. Then, a line is drawn from a point 2m above the ground outwards from the building at an angle to 25° to the horizontal. If any building projects above this line, it is high enough for concern.
