Hi, we would be nice to the president if we could contact him. He doesn't reside there and no one is allowed his email for direct contact, we always have to go through the administrators. In regards to the cubby hole, we are not too bothered about that but I know 100% that no one has asked for town hall permission to have them done or involved architects, plus lots of people have added balustrades to their walls with only the agreement of the community. And no we did not know that we had to ask for planning permission otherwise it changes the deeds and the administrators never told us. They just said the wall would be discussed at the AGM and if agreed it could stay. I think we just feel a little put out by it all. Mainly because we had a lovely gravel led garden which every time we went over it as full of cat poo and weeds as it was being used as a toilet by all the stray cats and the weeds were being populated from the garden next door because it wasn't kep under control. Despite numerous requests to the administrators to deal with it nothing was done so in the end we took the decision to pay for it to be tiled so we could enjoy our holidays there rather than having to deal with all the crap every time we went. We added the small wall as it looked better than the double gates and made ours look the same as the 20 others that had been built fully walled without gates to the left of us, however the 20 to the right all have the gates.

Hugh, we weren't being selfish, just didn't realize that we had to ask permission to make what is a relatively small change to OUR property. We did however ask to make a storage room under outside stairs as others have done but this has been refused. Boys ganging up together springs to mind. I'm sure you are a really nice bloke and full of banter. Enjoy your evening.

Hi, we own a semi detached property that is in a community. Half of the properties have no driveways and full walls around their property to the front of us and at the side. The other half including us have a break in the wall with double gates. We have taken the gates out and put a wall there which matches the ones mentioned, however we had to obtain retrospective permission as we didn't realize we had to ask first. Unfortunately at the recent AGM it has been voted against but we don't know why and what the problem is (we couldn't attend). We also ask d to knock through a wall under the outside stairs to make a small storage cubby hole which quite a few of the other owners have but this has also been refused. Is their anything we can do to challenge these decisions? I know we have 3 months to appeal but feel it would just fall on deaf ears!
Any help and advice would be greatly received.
Dawn
