In Lamble v Buttaci  [2018] UKUT 175 (LC) Andrew Francis successfully relied upon s. 84(1) LPA 1925 to modify restrictive covenants over land in Surrey Green Belt to allow a new house and garage. Where a covenant is qualified by consent requirement there is no need to seek declaration of the Court on whether consent refused unreasonably. The decision contains warnings about the effect of the conduct of the objectors' solicitor on costs recovery by his client.
