I'm a keen amatuer astronomer & member of local astronomical society. Due to neww building development, the risk from light pollution is never ending threat. The enjoyment & opportunity of viewing faint deep sky objects (DSOs) gets worse with each passing year as new housing & business developments expand. All forms of light pollution must be employed on new builds & all old style street lighting must be changed to new, more effective & efficient lighting designs. If future generations are to enjoy looking at night sky, ground threats need as much consideration as the threat from satellite deployment.
