# The Chancery Group
The Chancery Group is an independent surveying practice based in London specialising in rights of light, daylight and sunlight consultancy. They advise developers, architects, planners and property owners on natural light considerations that affect planning applications and development design across the UK.
The firm serves clients navigating the complex technical and legal landscape of natural light in property development. Their expertise is particularly valuable in dense urban environments like London, where rights of light disputes can determine project feasibility. They work with development teams to maximise building potential whilst managing impacts on neighbouring properties, providing detailed technical assessments to support planning applications, development viability analysis and dispute resolution.
What distinguishes The Chancery Group is their proven track record and specialist approach. They've achieved a 99% planning success rate and maintain a 100% record on appeals, demonstrating their effectiveness in securing planning approvals even on challenging projects. Their consultancy combines deep knowledge of BRE Guidelines, British Standards for Daylighting (EN17037) and relevant case law with practical, commercially-focused advice tailored to individual projects.
The firm emphasises collaborative relationships built on trust and transparency. Rather than generic solutions, they offer independent expert guidance informed by their extensive portfolio spanning large-scale developments to smaller projects. Their approach integrates cutting-edge surveying technology with years of professional experience, enabling them to resolve complex light-related challenges whilst maintaining neighbourly relations and project momentum.
