Scheme of Management

The need to apply for Trustees' consent

The 1967 Leashold Reform act, which allowed leaseholders to extend their leases or purchase their freehold interest, also allowed the Trust, via its scheme of management, to retain control over matters affecting the appearance and amenity of the Estate. However, the Trust can only preserve and enhance the special environment by ensuring that any new development or alteration work is considered within the context of the property itself, neighbouring properties, the street and surrounding area. Alterations may vary in scope from large extensions to the replacement of windows or the felling of a tree. However, all have an individual and collective affect upon the immediate environment.

All development, no matter how small, is worthy of careful consideration if the estate is to retain its unique quality. As a result, before any work commences on site residents are required to submit for the Trust's approval, any proposals affecting the external appearance of their property or garden. If in doubt, contact the Trust.
