Access Licences
Development works, especially those situated in a constrained or city-centre locations, will often require access over neighbouring land - either by scaffold or crane.
We are able to work with your project team to establish any automatic rights of access under the Party Wall Act, the Access to Neighbouring Land Act, or alternatively, assist in the negotiation of access licences, either independently or alongside your legal team.
-
The Party Wall Act grants rights of access over a neighbour’s land, but exclusively for notifiable elements of work. We can review proposals to identify where these rights may apply.
-
The Access to Neighbouring Land Act provides developers rights of access over adjacent land when necessary for the maintenance or repair of an existing property. We can facilitate negotiations with your neighbours or, if access is denied, work with your legal advisors to seek court approval.
-
Access Licences can be negotiated with your neighbours where no statutory rights of access are available. We can professionally manage discussions to seek access for crane or scaffold oversail.
