BCO London Seminar: Navigating Rights of Light | Lessons from Bankside for Office Development

Are you in the dark about rights of light? Do you want to understand more about what the most recent ruling might mean for your projects and clients?

Join BCO London and BCO NextGen London as we dive deep into the impact of the recent Bankside Yards rights of light judgment.

July’s Cooper & Powell v Ludgate House Ltd (2025) judgment – which focused on the Bankside Yards scheme and in particular the 19-storey Arbor office development – provides invaluable insights into how the courts now assess such claims, including how they measure light loss, decide whether a legal nuisance exists, and determine fair compensation when an injunction isn’t suitable. The case also provides the first authoritative judicial guidance on how Section 203 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016 applies to developments that may affect neighbouring rights of light.

To understand what that might mean for the office sector as a whole and to learn how to navigate its potential impact, the BCO has gathered an expert panel, with speakers from Anstey Horne, GPE and Eversheds.
