Many homes and businesses every year suffer as a result of loss of amenity in rural and urban areas. Examples of livery/riding schools losing their safe outriding, the shop keeper losing customer parking /access and hotel owner who cannot take bookings due to noise intrusion are to mention but a few of the many compensation cases with which we have dealt. However, by far the majority of our claims involve individual homeowners who find their quality of life and the value of their property affected by new development.
