Document background
An Easement And Restrictive Covenant document is essential in Irish property law when establishing formal rights over another's land while simultaneously imposing restrictions on its use. This document is typically required in scenarios such as shared access arrangements, utility installations, development projects, or conservation agreements. It must comply with the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009 and other relevant Irish legislation, ensuring proper registration with the Land Registry. The document includes detailed property descriptions, maps, specific rights granted, use restrictions, maintenance obligations, and duration terms. It's particularly important in development contexts where long-term property rights need to be established and protected, and where specific land use restrictions need to be enforced for the benefit of neighboring properties or community interests.
