(1) A covenant relating to any land of the covenantee shall be deemed to be made with the covenantee and the covenantee’s successors in title and the persons deriving title under the covenantee or them, and shall have effect as if such successors and other persons were expressed.
For the purposes of this subsection in connection with covenants restrictive of the user of land successors in title shall be deemed to include the owners and occupiers for the time being of the land of the covenantee intended to be benefited.
(2) This section applies to covenants whether express or implied under this or any other Act made or implied after the commencement of the Conveyancing (Amendment) Act 1930, but the repeal of the section for which this section is substituted does not affect the operation of covenants to which the repealed section applied.
