Planning Guidelines
Owners of Lynden Gate properties have collectively agreed Planning Guidelines that set out the principles of what is considered a fair and acceptable level of modification to houses and garages on the estate.
The Board is expected to enforce these guidelines and only to grant permission for works which conform to them. From time to time the Board consults with property owners to verify majority support for the guidelines to be applied.
Houses and garages at Lynden Gate may not be altered without prior permission from the Board. This is a legal requirement set out in the Title Deed for each property, which owners agree to at the time of purchase.
The Board has absolute discretion with regard to the enforcement of the guidelines and has in the past caused works to be remedied/undone when these have been in contravention of the guidelines.
For homeowners planning on making property improvements a set of documents is available to assist with navigating the planning process
