Draft Bourn Airfield Supplementary Planning Document - June 2019

5G NOISE, LIGHT AND AIR QUALITY
The SPD states "External artificial lighting should be designed to minimise skyglow and be the minimum required to ensure public safety and for crime prevention and living, working and recreational purposes.". I think this should go further and state that all lighting should be of full cut-off design and set goals for maximum acceptable illumination levels. I would welcome the council working directly with the Commission for Dark Skies to ensure that the site lighting sets and meets sensible thought-out standards in this area:
