Can a declaration within a transfer not to include the benefit of any right to light which might interfere with retained land prevent a prescriptive right to light if 20 years use as of right can be established?

Q&As

Property Disputes

Does an acknowledgement by a freeholder of a dominant tenement that their light is enjoyed over the servient tenement by consent (for the purposes of section 3 of the Prescription Act 1832) bind a tenant of the dominant tenement? Or can the tenant nevertheless assert their own rights of light despite the consent given by their landlord (assuming that they have acquired such rights)?
