*23Rubinow, J.
(concurring). A land use restriction that does not benefit anyone is void. See Colonial Trust Co. v. Brown, 105 Conn. 261, 286, 135 A. 555; Mitchell v. Leavitt, 30 Conn. 587, 590. For that reason, the subject restriction is valid only if it is construed as permitting HELCO to withhold permission for any proposed use only when there is a rational ground for withholding permission. The trial court found that HELCO did not arbitrarily withhold permission, and that finding supports the judgment rendered.
