- Estates Gazette (0011) 18 March 2000, 140(1) .
Considers the dispute in "Sportoffer Ltd v Erewash BC" whereby S wanted to change the use of their premises as a squash club to include a gym and swimming pool. E refused because the premises would have been in direct competition with their own nearby sports centre. Court concluded a landlord can refuse consent to a change of use if it competes with its own nearby business. The case also illustrates the problems tenants face whose leases restrict the use to which their premises can be put.
