Looking into options for a friend, and on obtaining a copy of the conveyance from when the house was bought from the council (by someone else) 25 years ago, it has this in it :
Logically, as it's a covenant (as opposed to some notice under the planning laws), it would seem that only the council could take action, and only for breaching the covenant rather than for doing building work without PP and/or BR. In practical terms, what action can be taken ?
Put another way, is it something that can be "reasonably safely" ignored ?
Also, not PP or BR related, but does anyone know what this bit means, or where I can find out ?
Is this the same as removing PD rights, or something different ?Not without the consent of the Council first obtained (the granting of which shall not be unreasonably withheld but may subject be to reasonable conditions):-
...
(b) to make or permit or allow the making of any external structural alterations to the Premises or any part thereof.
