Easement

A legal right attached to land that benefits one property (the dominant tenement) by placing an obligation on a neighbouring property (the servient tenement). Common examples include rights of way, rights to run drainage pipes across neighbouring land, and rights to light. Extensions must not interfere with existing easements without the easement holder's consent, which may involve renegotiation or diversion.
