290 Grant of further lease includes same authorised use (1) This section applies if a further lease is granted under section 289 on the surrender of an existing lease. (2) The further lease must authorise each use of the leased land, and any building or other structure on the land, that the surrendered lease authorised. (3) However, subsection (2) does not apply if a person applies for a change of use of land, or of a building or other structure on land, that involves a lease variation at the same time as applying for the grant of the further lease. (4) To remove any doubt, a further lease may include provisions that are different from the lease that it is replacing. Example—s (4) A further lease includes a restriction on the number of dwellings that may be built on the land described in the lease, and the old lease did not include a similar provision.
