In covenants related to land, what does a building scheme imply?

• A. Only the seller benefits
• B. A shared benefit and burden across affected land
• C. Covenants bind only the current owner
• D. Covenants are personal and cannot be enforced

Answer: (B)

A building scheme creates reciprocal covenants that apply to all plots within a defined area. The important point is that both benefits and burdens are shared across the affected land, so every plot within the scheme enjoys the common advantages (like uniform building lines or use restrictions) and bears the corresponding obligations. These covenants run with the land, so they bind current and future owners and are enforceable by those who benefit from them.
