Rights to light: An issue in transition

Justin Mason and Stephen Meade

Journal of Building Survey, Appraisal & Valuation, 2016, vol. 5, issue 3, 269-274

Abstract: This paper examines the concept of ‘right to light’ and details the legal status of such rights. Through an examination of the relevant case law, it looks at how rights to light can be enforced, and the Courts’ approach to dealing with disputes arising from their infringement. Finally, it looks at the proposed legal reforms to the issue put forward by the Law Commission in December 2015, and considers if they go far enough to give certainty to both developers and individuals who may benefit from rights to light.
