The penultimate covenant in the Block Crown lease is a building-approval covenant, not a user restriction; on construction of the lease and Schedule the subject lots are not demised as agricultural/garden ground and therefore the lawful user is building land permitting houses as of right; compensation must be assessed on building-land market value using appropriate comparables, resulting in award of $290,214.
