Whereas: (A) The Park Authority is entitled in terms of inter alia Section 75 of the 1997 Act to enter into a planning obligation with any person in respect of land within the National Park area for the purpose of restricting or regulating the development or use of that land, either permanently or during such period as may be specified;
