Discharge of restrictive covenants
Article Abstract:
A recent case involving Kennet Properties Ltd highlights circumstances under which it may be necessary to obtain the discharge of restrictive covenants. This is because obtaining planning permission does not override any private rights which prevent that same use. In this case, the applicant had received permission to build 27 homes in Haringey, England, but a building scheme established in 1853 had designated the site as 'paddock land,' and it was therefore not possible to build there.
