There is the owner of the ground floor who uses the garden of the strata common property as exclusive rights ( i do not know who gave them that right).The developer planned palm trees which are growing thick and tall and start blocking the views of our apartment.Can we ask for them to replace the trees (not protected ) with other trees or plans which do not grow so high .
Can we still enjoy the views , which make us buy the unit when we first seen it?
Not sure if you are talking about plum or palm trees,* but some varieties of palm trees are dangerous because whole fronds/branches will drop off when they die.
It is an OH&S issue because once the trees have grown too tall to trim, the dead fronds/branches drop off. If hit, would the resident with exclusive use sue the Owners Corporation?
I was also told that cockroaches breed in some palm trees but have no proof of that.
*My fault – the original post was misspelt “pulm” in the heading. I assumed plum when I fixed it. Not too bright that day. -JT
