Our Feature in RICS Modus Discussing the Future of the Rights of Light Profession
Century Associates is proud to see our Director, Emily Forth, featured in the latest edition of RICS Modus, discussing the development of the Land and Resources Rights of Light APC pathway and the future of the profession.
The article highlights the importance of increasing awareness of Rights of Light as a specialist surveying discipline and encouraging greater participation within the profession.
As Emily explains:
"Increased visibility and promotion of the Rights of Light APC pathway is essential. We need to encourage more individuals to enrol as candidates and more firms to strive for RICS regulation."
Strengthening the Future of Rights of Light Surveying
Rights of Light plays an increasingly important role within the built environment, helping developers, property owners and project teams understand and manage the potential impacts of development.
As demand for specialist Rights of Light advice continues to grow, attracting and developing the next generation of Chartered Surveyors is essential to maintaining high professional standards across the industry.
The APC pathway provides an important route for surveyors looking to specialise in Rights of Light, helping to build expertise and strengthen professional recognition within this area of practice.
Promoting Professional Standards and Accessibility
Throughout her career, Emily has been a strong advocate for improving recognition, regulation and access within the surveying profession.
Alongside her recent appointment to the RICS Governing Council, Emily continues to support initiatives that encourage greater participation in surveying and promote the value of professional standards, technical excellence and RICS regulation.
By contributing to discussions around the future of the Rights of Light APC pathway, Emily is helping to support the continued growth and development of the profession.
