Abstract
Examines the French approach to residential commonhold management, the over‐regulation in commonhold management in France and the problems that this causes. Considers the implications of the French system for the introduction of commonhold in the UK. Concludes that UK commonhold management is likely to follow a less highly regulated path than France, having more in common with the legislation in Australia and the USA.

Sets out to examine the management structure of commonhold properties, with particular emphasis on the dynamics of collective management, in three countries where it is well established: Australia, France and the USA.

Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to compare the law with regard to private property rights and restrictions and public controls in England and the USA, and the theoretical debates that surround them, to understand whether the private land use controls of nuisance and restrictive covenants could have a greater role to play or the public law system of planning is the best way to manage land.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper starts by summarising and comparing, firstly, the private laws of nuisance and restrictive covenants and then laws relating public planning, zoning and takings in England and the USA. It then reviews theoretical approaches taken in both jurisdictions to land use restrictions.
Findings
The paper concludes that private land use restrictions can only play a limited role in land management in England. Scarcity and cost of available housing necessitate a mechanism by which the state can intervene to remove or modify restrictions to enable alteration and development. The structure of freehold ownership in England and the low take-up of Commonhold as an alternative tenure mean that expansion in the use of private land use restrictions to control the use of land is unfeasible.
Originality/value
The value of this paper is that it seeks to provide insight into the contested relationship between private and public law and the relationship between property law and planning.
