Right to Light

This is not a right to a view or sunlight. It is a right to enjoy the amount of daylight you currently receive through a window in your building. If anyone reduces the amount of light you receive by constructing a building you may be able to require compensation or stop the building altogether.

We can give general advice on whether there is a likelihood a neighbour will complain about your development or whether a neighbour’s development infringes your right. We will put you in touch with a specialist valuer of such rights if this is necessary.
