There is a covenant in place on my house dating back to the 1950s.
We did research when we bought the place as we bought with a view to developing the house a bit. We were assured by multiple qualified people that it is very hard to enforce a covenant that old as there is no one left alive to enforce it, and that it would be highly unlikely to come up in any planning application we make. Even if it is a problem once the work has been carried out we were told that we would be able to purchase an indemnity for relatively little money.

Anyone have any experience with very old covenants on extra land that was bought as addition to the original plot?
