Mark Lowe QC

Mark‘s practice started out in the field of general common law where a good grounding in property law was essential to deal with the wide range of boundary disputes, restrictive covenant claims, landlords and tenant actions and other neighbour disputes which were the core of his then practice.

Although he subsequently became a specialist in Planning and Local Government/Public law he retains an interest in the field of Property law, particularly where there is an overlap between the two.

For example, he has advised and appeared in applications to discharge restrictive covenants, in disputes between neighbours concerning the scope of permitted rights under both planning permissions, covenants in Transfers and rights or way, and in the proper interpretation and effect of covenants in s.106 obligations for major house-building sites.

He is presently advising housing developers on the relationship between a right of way and the highway elements of a planning permission granted for a substantial residential development.
