Part 7: Conservation Covenants Section 123: Benefit of obligation of responsible body
This section sets out who is owed an obligation of the responsible body under a conservation covenant and who can, therefore, enforce it.
	It provides that such an obligation is owed to the landowner with whom the responsible body entered into the conservation covenant (referred to in these notes as "the original covenantor") and anyone who later holds either the relevant qualifying estate or an estate in land derived from this. For example, a transferee of the land, or a lessee, can enforce the responsible body’s obligations. However, the original covenantor or a successor can only do so while he or she holds the relevant estate (subsections (3)(b) and (3)(c)).
	Subsection (4) ensures that if a successor to the original covenantor is not bound by certain obligations – in particular, by positive obligations because he or she holds a lease for seven years or less – then the responsible body will not owe the successor any obligations that are ancillary to the obligations that do not bind the successor.
