Commercial owners of land – just as much as residential owners – can face unexpected problems with neighbouring land. Feelings might not run as high, but costs and management time can be extraordinary. This practical session will look as ways of avoiding and resolving some of the more frequently encountered knotty problems that can arise including:

• Can your business be stopped: noise, smells and overlooking: Tate; Lawrence v Fen Tigers; Piers v Bickerton Aerodrome; Jones v MOD
• Access to neighbouring land: Prime v Thurloe; Power v Shah
• Trees, hedges and knotweed: Churchill v Merthyr Tydfil; Stagecoach v Hind; Sumner v Colbourne; Network Rail v Willliams
• Gates, parking and security: Page v Convoy
• Why checking your land is essential: Pye v Graham; Dowse v Bradford; Calverley Village Day Nursery Ltd v Lynch
