    Could you give more detail why their conversion whould change the status of your property. Covenants are funny things, nearly imposible to change, hard to understand. I think your covenant was written to prevent someone from running a business out of their garage but that may not prevent them from converting it to a home. There must be many other covenants and building regulation you need to read.
