Restrictive covenants : Consent - how reasonable can you be

Gibbs, S.

Restrictive covenants : Consent - how reasonable can you be - 1988 - Estates Gazette (8809) 5 March 1988, 30-52(2) .

Most conveyances or transfers by a developer of a house on a new housing estate will impose a covenant not to make alterations to the dwelling-house without the developer`s consent. This article, with reference to two cases Wrotham Park Estate Co v Parkside Homes Ltd and Price v Bouch , examines whether the qualification that such consent should not be unreasonably withheld is implied by law or should be written into the covenant.
