Modifying Restrictive Covenants - Practical Lessons for Property Professionals

Introduction

How easy is it to change a covenant that restricts the use of land? What sort of evidence will convince a tribunal to exercise its discretion to modify or even release such a covenant?

This intermediate level webinar, aimed at those advising homeowners as well as developers to maximise the use of land - and potentially its value - will look at the practical lessons to be drawn from recent case law.

What You Will Learn

This webinar will cover the following:

• Restrictions to ‘agricultural use only’ - is it possible to use for other purposes? Mill Strand v Tapp; Collins v Howell
• Increasing the number of dwellings - when does it matter & when not? Cross v Coach House; HAE v The Croft; Dickinson v Adams
• Privacy, views, and rural aspects - their importance as ‘practical benefits of substantial value or advantage’ in Creebay v Deninson; Hicks v Holland Park; Cross v Coach House
• Consent: Davies-Gilbert v Goacher; Mackenzie v Cheung

This pre-recorded webinar will be streamed at 12:30pm on Wednesday 11th January 2023 and will remain available to view by delegates who have registered by then for 90 days.
