Rights of Light - All Change Post Ludgate?

Introduction

Rights of light, which benefit neighbouring land, can cause headaches for both commercial developers’ profit margins and homeowners’ plans to extend their property.

Has the recent case of Cooper v Ludgate House made dealing with such rights any easier?

This webinar will cover the following:

• Measuring the light and loss - Waldram or Radiance? What about badly lit buildings?
