Turned around whether landlords of expensive houses could oppose the development of an exclusive estate. The Tillotsons were granted planning permission to build an additional house on the land of their current home. However, restrictive covenants limited building to just one house per land. The Tillotsons applied to the Lands Tribunal to reject the covenant as invalid or to amend it to allow the building of the extra house. Their application was rejected. The tribunal felt that the development could not be allowed as it would weaken the exclusivity of the area.
