Whether or not the judgment in HKRUK II (CHC) Limited v. Heaney [2010] EWHC 2245 (Ch) represents any change of direction in the law, it has certainly had an effect on those wishing to develop land in a way which would infringe rights of light. The developer who wishes to avoid the threat of an injunction has come to see section 237 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as the solution to his problems.
Although section 237 authorises infringements of rights in relation to land which is or has been held by a local authority, it is often those who wish to develop land, and those who fund such development, who are most interested in the authorisation which it can confer.
In this podcast Neil Cameron QC from Landmark Chambers will consider how use can be made of section 237 to facilitate development.
