The Vendor in 1885 was a private limited company.
Looking at Companies House there is a company with a similar name.

Since that is the only restrictive covenant that will effect your intended building of a new house as a replacement for an existing house, it is clear that the Vendor does need to approve the design of the elevations of the proposed new dwelling.

It is also probable that in 2021 such approval...

You can approach the neighbour and point out that the proportion of costs for maintaining the drive needs to be changed before he attempts to implement the planning permission if it was to be granted, because you will not have a valid planning objection based on the current use of the right of way by...

In the case of buying land that is registered with a title guaranteed by Land Registry, there need only be some A4 sheets of paper that will comprise the official copy of the Register of Title and a title plan.

My earlier response explained that there would no no need to pay a solicitor or an architect to undertake the type of work needed to return the two flats into a single dwelling, since it was a task that required a practical person to do the work for you.

All that an architect can do is...

As long as the property is registered under a single title, rather than as two separate titles, with one for the freehold and one for a leasehold flat, all you need do is return the interior of the building into a single dwelling before offering it for sale.

You will need a competent person...

If you intend to rent out the house under a shorthold tenancy agreement, then you will have to ensure that what is being offered for rent is identified using a plan attached to the rental agreement.

You would either need to reserve a right of way over the tenanted part of the land in order...

I don't want to hi-jack this thread, but a few years ago I bought a house knowing that the elderly widow who owned the mortgaged house after the death of her husband wanted to remain in occupation as a tenant.

That was the basis on which the sale was advertised and the basis that my wife...

"Gale's Rights of Way" costs about £250 now, but a Google search about what constitutes intensification is still a useful way to find out about such matters.

Answer 1.
Read the Local Plan policies of your Local Planning Authority (LPA) to see what requirements there are for amenity space and parking provision for any new dwellings and whether there are minimum room sizes required in your area.
In London there definitely are, so other LPA's may...

A current day planning application where access is over a private road would probably be subject to such a rule.
No more than 5 houses to be accessed over a private road.

A road to serve more than five new houses would have to be built to a standard for a public highway that can be...

Lawcruncher is the person who probably offers the most sensible and constructive advice on this web-site.

It is a matter of law that a Limited Company is a legal person completely separate from the people named as shareholders and directors when it was incorporated.

We are back to the fact that you did not pay anything to acquire the property, so what you tell Land Registry is the value only applies to the registration fee that you will be required to pay.

It still does not mean you can value the land as though you bought it....
