MDX Surveyors specialise in taking a commercial approach, assisting developers in maximising development opportunities whilst effectively managing risk.
Rights of Light is a legal easement in property law that gives a building owner the right to receive natural light through defined openings (such as windows). If a development or new construction significantly reduces the amount of natural light entering a property that has enjoyed uninterrupted light for a period of 20 years or more, the affected owner may have grounds to seek compensation or even an injunction to prevent development.
Daylight and sunlight planning assessments evaluate the impact of new developments on natural light amenity for existing & proposed buildings and outdoor amenity space. This has become a hot topic with planning officers over the past 10 years and it is increasingly important to consider.
