  • “self-contained part of a building” means a part of a building—

    1. (a)

      which constitutes a vertical division of the building;

    2. (b)

      the structure of which is such that it could be redeveloped independently of the rest of the building; and

    3. (c)

      in relation to which the relevant services provided for occupiers are provided independently of the relevant services provided for the occupiers of the rest of the building, or could be so provided without involving the carrying out of works likely to result in a significant interruption in the provision of any relevant services for occupiers of the rest of the building;

  • “relevant services” are services provided by the means of pipes, cables or other fixed installations; and

  • “structure and exterior” includes the relevant services in or to the building but does not include those which are within and exclusively to one commonhold unit.
