complications/difficulties


Explanation:
Hello,

I think that "sujétions" are referring to all the difficulties/complications likely to be encountered due to the size of the structures to be built, particularly width-wise.

I'm not sure that "restrictions/constraints" would be the right word here.

I hope this helps.

disagree  Ghyslaine LE NAGARD: not the meaning of "sujétions"

  -> I disagree with you. This idea here is that they are "hindrances/obstacles/problems/difficulties" involved for which they will be compensated montarily (time and effort needed to solve problems)

agree  Bourth (X): Constraints, even. "Subjection"? Never seen it in 25 ans de carrière, except in relation to women.

  -> Thanks, Bourth! I was beginning to think I was crazy until you agreed with me. I've done a lot of research and there is not way on earth this means anything but "complications/difficulties/constraints/hindrances" in a legal context, imho.

servitude


Explanation:
The term "sujétion" reports to the servitudes linked to a building in this case. Look at the French definition of "sujétion" in the big Larousse dictionnary (French language).
