Recent changes to planning policy and the setting of ambitious housing targets means that developers should not just be thinking about who owns the surface of the land they are building on, but also the minerals beneath. Writing for Property Week Robert Phillips outlines how disputes arising from freeholds where the title to mines and minerals is severed from the surface title are going to start appearing if developers of onshore wind and housing dig down.

Commenting on the announcement in the King’s Speech to ‘get Britain building’ Mariya Rankin, senior associate, says “The pledge to build 1.5 million homes announced today is much needed. However, the ability to build at speed will not just be solely reliant on easing planning restrictions. As well as the need for more resources for planning departments, there is a growing tension between innovation in building sustainability and reusing construction materials, and the industry’s tendency to opt for tried and tested ‘standard’ materials that are certified to comply with safety legislation, but are in short supply, at a high price or simply no longer the most sustainable option. “Legally, converting construction demolition waste (“CDW”) into a product involves lengthy testing obligations and unclear regulations which can price small-scale innovators out of the market and ultimately slow down the construction process. The current CDW regulations are just one contender for reform to smooth the path to building affordable, sustainable homes for the future. “Easing planning has broken ground, but tackling the question of how building greener can be incentivised and enabled could add the foundations to achieving the UK’s affordable housing plans.” Read more in this article from Mortgage Solutions: https://lnkd.in/ejJqaCgT

A major insurance company has decided to stop offering surety bonds to major contractors due to the rise in construction insolvencies, which has made it financially impractical. This creates a situation where surety bonds are most needed, but contractors find it increasingly difficult to obtain them.

In the latest Court Orders Update, Mark Cooper and Tom Parry look at a successful application made during a trial to: 1) direct a respondent to a freezing order, and third parties connected with him, to disclose assets ultimately beneficially owned by him; and 2) significantly reduce how much the respondent was permitted to spend on his ordinary living expenses as a result of his reduced outgoings since the order was first made. They consider practical tips for parties holding freezing orders, or subject to them, on how the Court will act to ensure that its orders remain effective during the lifetime of the proceedings and post-trial.
