ACCESS
A new access and track will need to be installed as part of the conversion. The Purchaser is to install the access track past the sale

As stated above, the property will be sold subject to a right of way from the public highway to the rear of the site for all purposes at all times, over the area hatched brown. This right of way will be subject to a 'lift and shift' clause to allow the Vendor to move the right of way when the existing access and track is replaced with the permitted access and track.
