Publisher's Synopsis
Taken from over twenty five years in advising on roads matters, this work provides an up-to-date guide to roads law in Scotland, focussing on how roads law impacts on the development of land. It considers the key characteristics of a road and how roads are distinguished from other rights in land such as public rights of way, servitudes and access rights. It considers the circumstances in which roads can be created, the extent of roads (both horizontal and vertical) as well as consenting requirements for the construction of roads and private accesses.
