Hi David
I'd go for the restrictive covenant, as this explicitly places a responsibility on the owner and warns them in the process. If they then do something to prevent underfloor ventilation, then on their head be it. This may sound harsh but consider a scenario whereby someone has a gas heater fitted, this is much more common and dangerous, but you would not inspect the flue annually.
You can never legislate against stupid.
