In the latest episode of our policy in practice podcasts, David Gauke, Eloise Illingworth, and Tom Weekes, KC at Landmark Chambers discuss fetters to housebuilding from private property law in the form of restrictive covenants as well as easements, such as rights of way and rights of light.

They cover:

• what restrictive covenants and easements are;
• the impact that restrictive covenants and easements have on property development;
• how rights of light are acquired and their effect; and
• how the law might be reformed in order to facilitate housebuilding.

If you would like more information or want to discuss any of the topics in this podcast, please get in touch with David or Eloise.
