Freehold Covenants - HELP

Can anyone who's infinitely better at Land Law, and Freehold Covenants in particular, help me out with the below? I'm really struggling, especially on whether the second covenant is enforceable against "F".

Thanks in advance!!

In 1985 H was the Freehold proprietor of Treetops, a rural estate of 3,000 acres, the title to which was registered. On the estate H cultivated trees and plants which could be used to manufacture herbal remedies and health products.

In 1990 H sold off a plot of 50 acres to P who covenanted that he would use the land for environmentally friendly purposes only. He also covenanted to plant and maintain a line of trees along his boundary with the Treetops' estate.

In 1992 H sold off a plot of 100 acres to R who covenanted that she would not use the land for commercial purposes.

In 1995 P granted a legal lease of his plot to J for 50 years. J has recently cut down a number of trees on the boundary with Treetops' to construct several large sheds. He is carrying on a business repairing agricultural machinery and farm vehicles in the sheds.

In 2002 R sold her plot to F, who has built log cabins on the land from which she is running a health and stress-busting retreat. In 2005 H died and left 'Treetops' to his son, S, in his will.

Advise S in relation to the enforceability of the covenants.
