UN1 - How much detail is required in panel 11?

My neighbour is in breach of a restrictive covenant. The land is 'agricultural use only'. A barn and an outbuilding have been converted into dwellings and some adjoining farmland is now also in use as residential domestic gardens. I have copied the text of the restrictive covenant into panel 11, but do I also need to give details, or a description of the breach?

A G - a Unilateral Notice would generally not be appropriate with regards a breach of a restrictive covenant. See PG 19 for guidance on the types of interest that can be protected in that way and how to make an application in form UN1 -&#160;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/notices-restrictions-and-the-protection-of-third-party-interests-in-the-register/practice-guide-19-notices-restrictions-and-the-protection-of-third-party-interests-in-the-register">Practice guide 19: notices, restrictions and the protection of third-party interests in the register - GOV.UK</a>&#160;<br> <br> If you own land that has the benefit of the restrictive covenant then enforcing same would most likely be a matter for the courts. I would recommend that you seek legal advice/assistance in that regard&#160;

Thanks Adam. Your swift response is much appreciated (and apologies if this question should have been under 'Forms'). I have read PG19, but the issue here is that the owner of the farm is now trying to sell the land whilst in breach of the covenant. We wish to block the sale until the breaches have been remedied.&#160;&#160;

A G - noted and appreciated but the advice given remains the same. You really do need legal advice to ascertain what legal rights you have here. And what impact a breach might have on the sale/purchase&nbsp;<br> To put it in general terms restrictive covenants are imposed for the benefit of other land. The covenants then bind the land and if a breach occurs then it's a legal, not registration, matter.&nbsp;<br> If you do own land that has the benefit of said covenants then it is legal advice/guidance you need as to what legal action you can take.

Legal avenues are being fully explored already. A successful UN1 application would ensure potential buyers were aware of the extant breaches.&#160;

A G - noted and appreciated. PG 19 explains how to apply using form UN1&#160;
