Summarises the key factors that developers involved in regeneration projects should bear in mind. Examines environmental impact assessments and planning obligations as customary requirements for major regeneration projects and looks at the issues of affordable housing, compulsory purchase and highways as well as rights to light and restrictive covenants.
