Get on the right track
Article Abstract:
Developers can try to make an agreement with the owners of a right of way to a piece of land they are planning to develop. Although the owner of the land may try to take advantage of the situation. It may be possible to get the local authorities to adopt the road or the developer may take out a title indemnity insurance. If a private right of way can be used the developer must not make any changes to the land without permission of the owners or obstruct the owners use of the right of way. The exact wording of a right of way must be considered carefully before work begins.

Waking from a planning nightmare
Article Abstract:
It is not widely known that section 237 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 can sometimes be used in cases where legal problems are holding up a planned property development scheme. To use this provision, the land must be owned by a local authority and the local authority must have acquired or appropriated the land for planning purposes. In some cases, the local authority may be willing to exercise its powers to purchase key elements in the development site and then sell or lease them on.

Tenants' break clauses revisited
Article Abstract:
Under section 26(2) of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, tenants can seek a new tenancy no more than 12 and no less than six months before the expiring of the existing tenancy. However a notice to quit defined in section 69(1) appears to include a break notice giving the tenant the opportunity to seve a request for a new tenancy. The case of a 20 years lease and the tenant's notice to exercise the break is discussed.
