Removing or changing an easement or covenant

An easement or a covenant can limit what you build on your land, and where. Some can be removed or changed.

The routes open to you

There is more than one way to remove or change an easement or a covenant, and the right one depends on the land, on who benefits from the restriction and on what the council will accept.

You are told which route fits, what it is likely to cost and how long it tends to take, before you commit to one.

Copy provisional. The terms in plain English, the margin beside the reading band and the stages, are experimental: they may not be a launch feature.
