Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

The rights (if any) conferred on the developer in a commonhold community statement are restricted or regulated in accordance with the following paragraphs.

(2)

The developer must not exercise development rights in such manner as to interfere unreasonably with—

(a)

the enjoyment by each unit-holder of the freehold estate in his unit; and

(b)

the exercise by any unit-holder or tenant of his rights under the commonhold community statement.

(3)

The developer may not remove land from the commonhold that has been transferred to a unit-holder unless the unit-holder consents in writing before the land is removed.

(4)

Any damage to the common parts or a commonhold unit caused by the developer in the course of undertaking development business must be put right by the developer as soon as reasonably practicable taking into account the future works required to complete the development and the degree of interference caused by the damage.

(5)

The developer must not exercise development rights if the works for which the development rights were conferred have been completed, save that any rights permitting or facilitating the undertaking of development business of the type referred to in paragraph 3 of Schedule 4 to the Act may be exercised for such further period as the developer continues to undertake that type of development business in relation to the whole or, as the case may be, the relevant part, of the commonhold.

(6)

In this regulation “developer” includes a person acting on his authority.
