HC Deb 24 March 1971 vol 814 c124W
Mr. Kinnock

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the laws under which developers of private housing estates derive their power to determine which design of garage owner-occupiers erect; and what procedure exists for the owner-occupier to appeal against the developers' decision.

Mr. Amery

In so far as the developer and a purchaser agree to restrict the design or erection of future building they would be subject to the law relating to restrictive covenants which is within the responsibility of my noble and learned Friend the Lord Chancellor.
