Depends what they are and who has the benefit of them.

What are the conditions and who granted them (eg council, owners of a neighbouring property)...

Can you put it in a bit more context?
If you mean convenants or restrictions, then it is often the seller of the land who hold this. That will often mean that it is now not relevant - but the danger of disobeying a convenant is that a buyer's solicitor will find out about it when you eventually come to sell.
Sometimes a restriction is put in place because the local development control department (Planning Dept) demand it as part of granting a planning application on the land in the first place. The seller (often a developer) then copies the restriction across into the purchase contract document. For example, thou shalt not have a fence bordering the front of the property normally comes from such a source. The developer who sells you the new house couldn't give a fig about this.

Basically fed up with big trucks parking outside my house, which is on a housing estate. title deeds say no trucks allowed!
Who is parking the trucks?

Your deeds say YOU cannot park a truck - and maybe your neighbour's deeds say the same. But they don't bind outsiders.
