This is designed to ensure that the owner and subsequent owners do not use the wood for anything which would be a nuisance to neighbouring woodland owners such as vehicle racing, or anything noisy or smelly. It also prevents subsequent division of the ownership of the wood into smaller units or erection of signboards.
Wording of the covenant (or "legal promise") for the transfer
The purchaser hereby covenants with the vendor that the land shall not be used in such a way as to create a nuisance to the neighbouring owners (including the vendor) and specifically the purchasers shall not, and not permit others to:

use the land or access tracks for any sort of racing whether with motor bikes, cars or other vehicles;
use the land for a commercial campsite;
use the land for clay pigeon shooting;
conduct any business from the land apart from forestry or agriculture;
use the land in a way which will damage the access tracks.
The purchaser and successors in title shall not erect any signboards visible from the public highway
The purchaser and successors in title shall not sell the land except as a whole specifically not in such a way that it could be registered in separate titles or in separate ownerships.
