Create Policy and Guidance to respect 'No Business Use' Covenant restrictions

We want Policy so that once notified of proven Covenant Restriction Ofsted Cannot register the C2 Use Class private business / Commerical Care Home. Thus any opening becomes Unlawful and as such the correct path under Section 84 of the 1925 Law of Property Act is followed rather than evaded.

Background
Section 84-the 1925 Law of Property Act is being evaded and undermined by Develop Now Business leveraging the difficulty in Civil Law (CPR) to sue for breach of Covenant at sensible cost and risk. Certificate of Lawful Use path to C2/C4 is damaging Public Trust and Local Democracy function. Currently develop now and open tactics are being used to manufacture Emotive Public Interest Argument when it is already known that Author intended use restrictions are in place to protect Estate Amenity.
