5 VESTED RIGHTS: Legal theory that states that if you have started to develop a parcel and have received certain approvals at the time a new regulation is implemented which would otherwise require you to do something additional in order to develop your property, then, by virtue of the approvals you have received, you should be vested from having to comply with the new regulation in order to complete the development of your property.
