We provide a complete range of services for all issues concerning rights of light, whether you are a developer at either end of the construction stage, or a neighbour to a proposal with concerns about its impact on your property.
At the planning application stage, the vast majority of new developments must also consider the impact of the proposal on neighbouring daylight levels, whilst ensuring adequate light levels are achieved within the development itself.
Certain types of construction work automatically fall under the Party Wall etc Act. As well as work to the party wall itself, this includes excavations adjacent to a neighbouring property, and building on a boundary. We regularly act as Building Owner's Surveyor and Adjoining Owner's Surveyor in relation to such work.
Where access to neighbouring land is not possible under the Party Wall etc. Act, it can often be negotiated via an access or oversail licence. In some circumstances, use of neighbouring land may also be possible under the Access to Neighbouring Land Act.
Please get in touch if you have any queries regarding the services we offer.
