Yes.
"6. No alterations are permitted to the exterior of your property unless consent is first
obtained from your neighbours. The second process is to make a formal request
for consent from all the owners at the next AGM. If consent is given, the third
step is to obtain a licence for the alterations from the Town Hall. Until all three
processes have been passed no building works or alterations to the exterior can be
made. Legal action will be taken against owners who do not comply with the
above rule."
First they planted a palm tree. Then they put up a railing with a mat of pins. This has disintegrated so now they have built a canopy (2,5 m in height) under the palm tree. All these measures does not seems to give them any benefit as it is in a shady corner of the garden They have argued that we are not allowed to sit near their garden as we might look into it! This is the only place where we have (or had) a view over the coast and sea.
I have written to the President and the Administrator and referred to section 7 in HPA. The Administrator says it is not a community matter. Our new president has talked to our neighbour several times but they refuse to lower or take down the canopy. I plan to bring this up in next AGM but it is not until October, so we will miss another summer in the shade looking over the Mediterrian Sea.
Advise within the law, please .
