Reports on the rights to light row over the demolition of Marsham Street towers. The dispute is delaying government and developer plans to replace the towers with a new headquarters for the Home Office and a significant residential element. It is feared that once the project starts, surrounding residents will argue that their views will be destroyed and the amount of natural light available to their building restricted. While the Home Office claims there is no risk of a rights to light dispute because the Marsham Street site is on Crown land, the French group Bouygues is considering redesigning the building to avoid the possible costs of a rights to light case. In the meantime, other developers are concerned about the impact of the delays for other private financed projects.
