How did you get on with your sunlight/daylight configeration, I follow the 
guidance and the plan lookes like a blur! I'm waiting for my autoCAD tutor 
to 
put me right next month.
  

I've not bothered so far, It goes back to the designer with instructions 
'bout how to do a TCP and it's up to them. I have no discernible CAD skills 
and 
don't intend developing any at the moment.

I have to say if a Planner asked to see a TCP then I suspect the client might 
be inclined to say "bog off," I mean is that a reasonable planning condition? 
It's on a par with saying I want to see that your pencils are sharp. Having 
said all that, the schemes I seem to get to deal with inevitably feature a 
host 
of horribly vandalised trees or something like that. I mean I can see that 
the Planner might quite legitimately say I want these measurements for these 
trees and it's perfectly reasonable but a TCP? Maybe but not just yet.

As I mentioned elsewhere BS5837 2019 might very well ask for submissions on a 
CD that you can view using a browser. Wherein you click on each tree on a 
site plan, get a holgram type view of the site, and views from each room's 
windows of the tree plus sunlight projections and all the other info you 
might 
possibly need. Chris Skellern is probably working feverishly on it as we 
speak...

(I had a site last month where I condmned every tree on the site bar one 
Lombardy Pop, can you be more negative said the client! Eh?)

Ho hum
Bill.
