Where a lease of land excludes buildings or parts of buildings, the exclusion from the definition of subdivision in s 4B(3)(a) of the EP&A Act applies to the lease of what remains after those buildings are excised, so that no subdivision approval is required. A lease describing 'part' of a lot is not void for uncertainty where the excluded portions (buildings) are capable of precise identification, even without an attached plan. Anti-waiver clauses in leases do not prevent waiver of forfeiture where the landlord not only accepts rent for years but also repeatedly insists on compliance with the lease.
