Do you have a Right Of Light Problem?

Is the neighbouring development going to severely affect your natural light? Price Lilford will help you to quantify a loss of light, how this could influence design or how to avoid if developing.

  • Understand your rights
  • Have the correct information to contest a build
  • Quantify your loss

Not Everyone is aware that you can have a Right Of Light.

It is not something the planners consider in granting planning permission as it is a private right acquired through an express covenant or by prescription. A proven Right of Light can influence the design of an adjoining development or, be compensated for if there is significant loss.

Explore how to quantify a loss of light and how this can influence design or how to avoid it if developing.

Be confident you have the best advice on a Right Of Light problem

Loss of Light claims can be disruptive to a project but they can equally help inform design. Not everyone has a Right Of Light so you may be concerned unduly. Rights of Light are quite specialised but we are happy to guide you through the process.

Let us help you understand a right of light

  • We can establish if one exists.
  • Quantify in monetary value what the loss may be worth.
  • Or, help with adjustment to proposals to obviate or at least minimise the loss.
