Rights of light—identifying provisions in leases—checklist

Rights of light—identifying provisions in leases—checklist This Checklist sets out which clauses in a lease and other relevant documents should be reviewed to determine whether a right of light exists. A right of light is an easement that entitles a landowner to receive natural light through an aperture in a building on its property. The owner of the land that is burdened by the right of light (the 'servient Building') cannot interfere with it without consent. On any proposed development it is therefore necessary to identify any neighbouring properties potentially enjoying a right of light (the 'dominant Building'). For further information regarding rights of light, see the following Practice Notes: • Establishing and maintaining rights of light • Rights of light—obstruction notices • Rights of light claims • Rights of light—insurance for developers Section 2 of the Prescription Act 1832 (PA 1832) requires actual enjoyment of light, which means that a right of light can be acquired for their own benefit and in their own right by those with a...

Contractual considerations for the procurement of artificial intelligence—checklist

Contractual considerations for the procurement of artificial intelligence—checklist This Checklist highlights the key procurement, licensing and contractual issues relevant to artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) solutions. Depending on the specific application, the inclusion of AI may mean adding simple automated functionality, through to creating a complex, intelligent tool controlled by either a third party or by the customer. This Checklist assumes that the AI will be capable of an element of learning and that, as such, one or both of the parties will be involved in training it. For a discussion of methodologies for the management of risks and challenges that might arise during the deployment of AI technology, see News Analysis: Understanding and managing the risks in artificial intelligence (AI) technology projects. General issues related to software development and licensing, systems integration, outsourcing and software support services may also be relevant, depending on the solution, but are not highlighted in this Checklist. For more, see Practice Notes: • Key issues in software licence agreements • Software development...

Drafting section 106 agreements—practical advice for developers

Agreements made under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (TCPA 1990) (formerly section 52 agreements), also known as 'planning obligations' and ‘s 106 agreements’, are agreements between developers/landowners and local planning authorities (LPAs) that require developers to contribute towards a range of infrastructure and services, such as community facilities, public open space, transport improvements and/or affordable housing, to mitigate the impacts of their development. They bind land and are enforceable against successors in title.See Practice Note: Planning obligations—key points and Checklist for drafting a section 106 agreement.Standard form planning obligations/section 106 agreementLPAs usually provide the first draft of the s 106 agreement, based on their standard agreements or model clauses. The developer then amends it and negotiations are undertaken to come to an agreed form. Although each s 106 agreement will be unique and respond to the particular development which it regulates, there are a number of provisions which one would expect to see in all s 106 agreements, see Precedent: S 106 agreement.It is a...

Planning conditions—the six tests

Planning conditions—the six tests Powers to impose planning conditions The general powers for local planning authorities (LPAs) to impose conditions on the grant of planning permission are set out in sections 70 and 72 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (TCPA 1990), although statutory powers to impose conditions are also set out in TCPA 1990, ss 73, 73A, 96A and Sch 5 Pt 1. The Secretary of State (SoS) also has powers to impose conditions on appeal in TCPA 1990, ss 77, 79, 177 and Sch 6. TCPA 1990, s 70 provides that where an application is made to the LPA for planning permission, the LPA may grant planning permission, either unconditionally or subject to such conditions as they think fit, or refuse planning permission. TCPA 1990, s 72 provides that, without prejudice to the generality of TCPA 1990, s 70, conditions can be imposed on the grant of planning permission: • for regulating the development or use of any land under the control of the...

When purchasing property are CRC enquiries still relevant where the purchaser is a CRC participant but the developer of the property is not a CRC participant?

When purchasing property are CRC enquiries still relevant where the purchaser is a CRC participant but the developer of the property is not a CRC participant? The CRC Scheme is a mandatory emissions trading scheme in the UK that aims to cut carbon dioxide emissions and improve energy efficiency in large non-energy-intensive public and private sector organisations. The CRC Scheme has been split into successive phases—the current and final phase of the CRC Scheme runs from 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2019. Organisations that qualify for the CRC Scheme have to purchase allowances for every tonne of carbon dioxide they emit. Where the buyer is already a CRC participant (because it qualified for the CRC Scheme during the qualification year, 1 April 2012–31 March 2013), it will remain in the CRC Scheme after the purchase of the
