June 08 Property Developers Podcast
This is the third podcast specially aimed at UK commercial and residential developers.
It features items on a case involving a breach of a restrictive covenant by a developer prohibiting land from being used other than as a single residential dwellinghouse.
The case revolves around the measure of damages and the Lands Tribunal decided it should be based on the loss in value to the landowner and not the gain made by the developer.
The podcast also covers a new innovation called a Planning Performance Agreement which applies to complex planning applications and will be good news to developers.
We look at a House of Lords decision on whether a right to park can be an implied easement and finally we look in detail at Energy Performance Certificates for commercial property which is now in force with big penalties (12.5% of rateable value) for developers selling without an EPC.
