These are all great suggestions and excellent advice thank you all so so much it really has given us some encouragement to keep persevering … We have over the weekend put up a free standing “bright orange” umbrella temporarily as we thought it would make an excellent contrast to the more architecturally appropriate white shutters we actually have requested .
We now await advice from the Community Association Executive before actioning next steps. If they approve it in principle we still have to get it through the next hurdle at our own Owners Corporation.
Needless to say I will follow the Jimmy T’s advice to the letter writing both to all lot owners and taking it to CTTT if necessary – as mentioned by KP there is no general by law in relation to shutters at this complex but interestingly there is in other Owner Corps across the Estate.
There seems to be no consistency in relation to this issue ,however i agree with KP that existing owners in this complex who have previously installed shutters without a by law will be put on notice if we take the issue to the CTTT and fail.
Will keep you posted
