Discusses the concept of neighbours in law and examines the restrictions this can place on developers. Statutory obligations, easements and restrictive covenants can give landowners the benefit of curbing development on neighbouring land. However there is no judicial definition of the term neighbour. Cases have often focused on the related notion of neighbourhood. Suggests that a neighbour is someone sufficiently proximate to be adversely affected by acts of unneighbourliness. Presents a case study and refers to case law.
