The City of London Corporation said the plans would help cut light pollution and save energy
The City of London Corporation said the plans were part of its bid to "cut light pollution and save energy". The proposals state that owners of new developments would be required to consider lighting levels and to turn off or dim their lights earlier if their building is in a sensitive area such as a residential or special heritage area.
"The proposals are aimed at reducing the impact of artificial light on residents and helping the City Corporation reach its target of achieving carbon net zero for the Square Mile as a whole by 2040," it said.New developments would need to submit a detailed strategy for how their building would be lit under the plans
What took them so long!?
The dimness lies with the politicians.
Not before time. The number of empty offices lit up throughout the night is disgraceful.
Confused by the 'dim' most places I work at have automatic lighting which turns OFF if no movement is detected
A no brainer. Should be standard practice. I think.
time has come! We have been frugal with our own energy. This ought to have occurred a while ago!
It should happen globally
They have done that in china for years certain time lights go out,bmw at hindhead lit uo like blackpool at night
Here’s a novel idea. Turn them off
Birds?
About time !! We’ve been stingy with our own power . This should have happened some time ago !
Should have been done years ago.
It’s all a scam, the public will get the ones behind it eventually
Every ounce of co2 counts… tell them BBC… we’re gonna fry! Or Mr Gates May cut your Apprenticeship bursaries! We’re doomed.
Something we been told to do for last decade to save the planet!!! backwardslondon
