ESTABLISHED planning policies
Planning applications are reviewed by the Directors on a case-by-case basis with reference to the Planning Guidelines. A number of guiding principles have underpinned our planning policies for many years and these have been endorsed by residents. These are as follows:
Infill Development
OWRA has a strict “one house per plot” policy and many residents on the Estate have supported this by voicing strong objections to recent attempts at infill development.
Covenants
There are a number of covenants in force on individual properties and we request that you uphold them.
Extensions
The building of extensions to existing houses is fully supported, providing that they are in keeping with the original house in terms of their overall design and the materials used and do not contravene our planning guidelines.
Demolition
The demolition of an existing house and its replacement with another single house will not normally be opposed, providing the replacement is built to a design and of materials in keeping with the overall style of the estate and surrounding properties.
