Q A builder needs a corner of our garden for a housing development. A First, check if there are any restrictive covenants preventing your land from being developed. For example, it may be that the land can only be used for a single private dwelling. Assuming the land is registered, restrictive covenants should appear on the Charges Register section of the title, which can be downloaded from the Land Registry website. It may be possible to negotiate a release of any restrictive covenant, or to apply to the Upper Tribunal to discharge it under section 84 of the Law of Property Act 1925.
