Servient estate owner may narrow an easement if this does not impede access to the dominant estate

The Supreme Judicial Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has held that “an easement… may be modified by the servient land holder so long as the purposes for which the easement was created are not frustrated, and the utility of the easement is not lessened.” Martin v. Simmons Properties, LLC, 2 N.E.3d 886 (Mass. 2014).
