LISTEN: Anna Favre, partner at Cripps Pemberton Greenish, discusses the Supreme Court ruling in Sequent Nominees Ltd (formerly Rotrust Nominees Ltd) v Hautford Ltd [2019] UKSC 47; [2019] PLSCS 205 – in which the court ruled that a landlord’s refusal of consent for its tenant to submit a planning application for residential use was “reasonable”.
Favre outlines the background to the case, analyses the court’s decision, and explains why she found it so surprising.
In addition, she addresses the potential significance of the case for landlords and tenants in the future.
