(a) carry out such inspections of the Retaining Wall as it considers appropriate from time to time, including carrying out such tests of the Retaining Wall and associated subsoil drainage outlets as it considers necessary; and

(b) as little damage or disturbance as possible is caused to the Owner’s Land or to the registered owner; and

(c) any damage done to the Owner’s Land must be immediately made good so as to restore it to its former condition.

3. The rights implied in rights of way in Schedule 5 of the Property Law Act 2007 and the Land Transfer Regulations 2017 will not apply to this easement.

4. The registered owner may continue to use the Easement Area in a reasonable manner provided that does not hinder or interfere with the use of the Easement Area by the Grantee in accordance with this easement.
