    HI

    A developer (industrial) is promising me that he'll do me a letter (solicitor etc involved) to say that he won't build in his field right beside my house , in return that I don't object to other works he's at nearby.

    Will this letter be worth the paper its written on? Will it stay with the land , or can he just get a way around this if he needs to later , say for example by transferring the land to his son, or somthing like that?,

    Well whatever he is planning is in his interest, despite what he says. I wouldn't trust this sort of agreement with a barge pole because as you say, he can just get something else done in the wife's name or his son's name. etc.

    Like say he has agreed this and went for planning for an incinerator or a landfill or something but you can't object because of this agreement?

    My advice is you should seek proper legal advice on this one. I don't know enough about the legalities but I'd be very sceptical and thinking he is up to no good, but maybe I am a cynic.

    The developer could agree to register a burden on the land.

    You would definitely need legal advice.

    Just talk to your solicitor and get proper legal advice based on all the facts.

    Thanks. Say he does that, is there any way to get loose this burden in the future ? Sale / transfer of land, even death?

    Ask your solicitor. Honestly, he's best placed to advise.

    Deffo get legal advice. There is probably little or nothing you can do if he builds all round you and then sells the plot beside you, I doubt the sale of the land would retain that but I'm not a solicitor. I just smell a rat and you'd need to be properly advised because developers are in it for themselves and will shaft you in a second.
