Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Houses [including my own] overlook a lovely view of a field of wheat which is one of the most important reasons we bought the property. We were told there was at the time of purchase that there was a 70yr covenant NOT to build on the field.
If this goes ahead our property value will plummet. Nobody wants to live next to a building site for 5 years or so.
The field itself is threatened by floodwater and the roads are inadequate for the volume of traffic expected.
Surely there are better Brown sites to make use of?
