Rights of light can pose a significant development constraint. Claims from adjoining owners can lead to litigation, project delays or significant cost overruns if risks are not adequately managed. With one of the largest and most experienced teams in the UK and Ireland, DPR provides clients with expert advice and experience, complemented by cutting-edge technology and data sets, which allow us to identify opportunities, navigate risk and recommend bespoke solutions, enabling clients to make informed decisions with confidence.

Data Analysis

Leading expertise

Harnessing extensive data sets, industry-leading modelling and analysis software, coupled with our talented people, we quickly establish if any rights are likely to be infringed by development, providing bespoke strategies and clear solutions.
