Rights of light – where are we post Ludgate?

Impacting both homeowners seeking to extend their property and commercial developers looking to maximise profit margins, a neighbouring property’s rights of light can cause serious issues and possibly even stop the planned work. This webinar examines:

• Defining a right to light and the owner’s remedies
• Will the work actually cause loss of light, and how is that measured? Lessons from the High Court in the recent case of Cooper v Ludgate House
• Are all rights of light equal? Badly lit buildings, offices: Beaumont v Florala; Midtown v City of London
• Will the court stop building work or not – tips & traps for developers and light owners alike: Lawrence v Fen Tigers; Ottercroft v Scandia Care
• Planning for damages – diminution or negotiating?
