La Isla ground flour walls

Hi All

We have bought a ground floor property on la isla for the views etc but have noticed they are biulding higher walls on the ground floor only.Polaris have told us the council would not issue habitation certificates until they were bricked up to stop old people and kids from falling over.But my question is can we reduce the size of the wall after we complete without polaris permission ?

Thanks Pat & Jackie

I witnessed the new "higher" walls on the ground floor apartments and thought maybe it was to do with the habitation certificates.  I also wondered if the same applied to the penthouses overlooking the golf course.  I dont remember any walls being added on.

My husband and I have had a few discussions regarding the walls, I said I would be upset and the new addition but he pointed out that if people were walking around the lake and happened to "peer" into the bedroom it maybe intrusive to both parties.

I say try not to get too uptight about it - the apartments on the Island are amazing I am sure you wont be disapointed.

There are no such additions to the Penthouse apartments which makes this addition and attaching rationale ridiculous.  The pictures indicate rough finish and no doubt hastily erected brick add-on's - both obscuring the view and not consistent with the build aesthetics.

Not happy as this is nothing more than beurocratic nonsense. Old people and children falling over the walls ! Why not erect safety nets round all the swimming pools just to be sure !

Let's hope we can restore normallity when the suits have finished with their clipboards.

HI Ann,

If you go onto the Condado De Alhama Forum there are pics dated 23 July rref: 16193 one of which shows the raised walls.

 Cheers

many thanks for the swift reply xx

Whoops I see what you mean !!!! im going to visit on 14th august so will reserve my judgement till i see what they intend to make as a finish but i dont see why they couldnt have put a rail in instead like the upper floors ???

I can appreciate the added privacy though for the main bedroom and may be some respite from the early morning heat in high summer so maybe not all bad after all.

I just hope that Polaris dont think that the rustic finish as they are on the pic is acceptable as is!!!!!!

With regard to the finish of the additional ground floor walls on la isla, they will be rendered, I took the photo that showed the raw brickwork but there were some finished apartments with rendered and painted walls which looked better.  I also dont know why a rail couldnt have surficed! Ours is not to reason why!
