No. A restrictive covenant restricts the use or occupancy of real estate such as limits on lot size, architectural style, building lines, sight lines, building size, residential use only, types of herbicides/pesticides, fences, pools, signage, landscaping, etc.
There are two main types of covenant which can be recorded on the land register, namely personal and restrictive covenants. Once registered, restrictive covenants continue to bind the land/property indefinitely. As time passes or circumstances change the covenants may become outdated e.g. housing densities imposed in the early 1900's may not fit with current redevelopment plans. In many cases the land/property owner will try to get the covenants removed. For a restrictive covenant to be removed it must be clear that the whole of the land which has the benefit can be precisely identified and that all the persons having an interest in that benefitting land have joined in and agreed to the removal - this is a rare occurrence. Such an agreement would be reflected in a legal deed executed by each party. An application would then be made to either remove the restrictive covenant(s) or reflect the contents of the Deed. Restrictive covenants can also be extinguished by the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) where they have decided for example that the covenant is out of date/touch with modern times Personal covenants tend to fall or are removed as and when the ownership changes although there are circumstances where they can continue - the question however is routinely raised with restrictive covenants in mind so the answer is limited to that context as a result.
Since a covenant is an agreement between two or more parties, usually all parties must agree to abolishment. Another course of action is through the courts. One much prove that the covenant is injurious and detrimental to one or all of the parties.

A restrictive covenant is a legal agreement that limits how a property can be used or developed. It is typically found in a deed or homeowners' association agreement and aims to maintain certain standards or protect the value of the property. Examples include restrictions on building height, types of activities allowed, or external appearances of buildings.

A restrictive covenant is something attached to a deed that prevents certain things from happening. At one point these were used to restrict the races moving into neighborhoods, but those have been deemed illegal and no longer valid. Most covenants today deal with thinks such as maintaining the look and feel of a neighborhood with restrictions on fences, house sizes and even colors. Some even provide for a first right of sale to another organization.
