Episode Details

Highland Council is launching bold new rules to fight light pollution, turning dark skies into a powerful economic asset. Designed to protect wildlife and human health while slashing energy costs, the plan prioritizes minimal, necessary lighting—especially for new developments in Dark Sky zones. Though exempting essential services like transport and military, it still covers outdoor sports facilities. The move supports rural and island communities aiming for official Dark Sky status, boosting tourism and local economies by preserving the natural beauty of starry nights—all while recognizing that darkness isn’t just good for nature, it’s good for business.
