505 2 _aPurposes -- Introduction: covenants mean different things to different people; key features; selection of international comparisons -- Compatability with the National Trust Act 1937: provision to hold covenants as if a neighbour of the covenanted land; covenants can run with the land in perpetuity; covenants are restrictive only, and may not require positive actions; covenants control buildings as well as land; powers conferred on an independent body, not just government bodies; legislation in the USA -- The purposes of covenants: introduction; encroachment by development; farmland support; nature conservation; heritage building preservation; focusing covenants on priority areas
505 2 _aLandowner contributions (and benefits): donations, purchases and acquisitions of covenants; incentives to donate covenants; separation of development rights; flexibility; the impact of covenanting opportunities on landowners and others -- Covenant management by covenant-holders: active management and monitoring; paying for management; enforcement, landowners and neighbours; legal challenges to covenants -- Review, options, advantages and disadvantages: relationship with the land use planning system and development; political acceptability and practicability -- Conclusions and recommendations
