In plain language: the freehold owner for the wider estate (title ND190321) must confirm certain lease conditions have been met before you can complete a sale or similar transaction. - Lease restriction on alienation: The lease itself prohibits or restricts alienation. In plain language: the lease contains rules limiting or preventing assignment, sale or possibly subletting of the lease without the landlord’s permission.

In plain English: you have a right to use that roadway (to the north east leading into Longhirst Village). - Pedestrian rights over land coloured pink and access marked 'A' (from the 1991 conveyance): a right for the property’s owners, occupiers, their servants and visitors to pass on foot over the pink-coloured area and to use the pedestrian access labelled A.
