prescriptive right of way for unauthorized development

    Looking through the advice notes on the PRAI website I read that an easement must "be capable of forming the subject matter of a grant (e.g. there can be no prescriptive claim to a right of privacy or a grant contrary to public policy)"

    This got me wondering whether a landowner can ever claim a prescriptive right of way to access an unauthorized development. Any thoughts?

    Mixing a number of issues there, but will leave open for general discussion, subject to rule on legal advice

    You are conflating two ideas

    You either have a right of way to access X or you dont.

    Yeah, I understand where you are coming from. But a prescriptive right of way can be claimed for agricultural purposes, which would exclude other purposes.
