Rights of light have attracted much interest over the last year, largely
because of Regan [2006]. In that case the occupier of a flat succeeded
in a right to light claim against a developer who had built a penthouse
on a neighbouring building; even though the loss in value to the flat
owner was only £5,500, the developer was ordered to knock down part
of the penthouse (at a cost of £175,000!).
