Synopsis
Restrictions on the Use of Land aims to provide readily accessible answers to a whole range of problems which commonly arise in the day to day practice of land lawyers, developers and other professionals involved in the development and/or realisation of valuable land assets in either the private or public sectors. With considerable focus on remedies for the infringement of rights, in on or over land, the book includes sections on easements, town and village greens, public rights of way, restrictive covenants, assets of community value (and the right of community groups to bid for listed land) along with selected elements of planning law. Coverage in the case of the latter is broken down under three heads, namely the fundamentals of development control, appeals and enforcement, together with a wide ranging review of the law and practice affecting conservation and enhancement of both natural and man-made environments. The advantage of such a book lies in the fact that it is a single up-to-date reference work covering a broad range of topics which might otherwise only be found in a number of specialist texts.

‘ORIGINAL AND WELCOME’
AN AUTHORITATIVE NEW REFERENCE WORK ON WHAT YOU CAN -- AND CAN’T -- DO WITH LAND

An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers

When and where can you use a right of way? And can you take your dog? And how is a right of way defined? And what exactly is the definition of a neighbourhood?

The answers to these and thousands of similar queries on restrictions on the use of land can be found in this new, published by Wildy, Simmonds & Hill, with a foreword by the President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, David Neuberger.

Lord Neuberger commends the book as ‘original and welcome’, particularly in view of the recent changes in the law relating to private rights and public control over land, as well as increasing concern over resulting environmental issues.

The authors, William Webster and Robert Weatherley, have produced a timely and authoritative work of reference intended to ‘fill a gap in the book market dominated by some heavy well known texts.’ With this aim in view, they have included six separate sections dealing with such matters as easements, village greens, (which need not necessarily be green), restrictive covenants and yes, public rights of way and of course, a lot more.

Also, included in Lord Neuberger’s words, is extensive commentary on ‘the very recent notion of assets of community value introduced by the Location Act 2011’. There is also a section on the elements of planning law – and all this in one convenient volume; comprehensive, clearly written and up to date.

Apropos planning, ‘it will be of particular interest,’ say the authors, ‘to see what emerges from the UK’s decision to leave the EU in the context of the right of EU-based planning environmental legislation.

As we are reminded that ‘the law (in this area) changes on a virtual daily basis,’ here is immediate and authoritative advice for practitioners charged with advising clients not only on their rights, but on possible pitfalls ahead.

Practitioners, especially busy ones, will appreciate the more than 90 pages of cases, statutes, statutory instruments and practice directions, plus the table of EC and international material, bearing in mind that the UK is still an EU member state.

The authors of 3 Paper Buildings, Temple, have endeavoured to ensure that they have dealt with the law in force as of 1 July 2016, although later developments have been added at proof stage.
