Thank you to everyone who has replied. You have certainly given me lots of things to consider and shown me an ordered way to approach this issue. I think I prefer the bureaucratic approach as major works have been done in the past by owners, with permission, but not by special resolution or bylaws. After 20 years there are only a few of us who remember what happened or why and new owners make assumptions that are incorrect. I could certainly see that happening in this case if we did not make a special by-law.
The owners are new to strata and I feel struggling to understand after selling their family home and being able to do what they liked there. They are involved with the EC but only raised this after the AGM notice had been sent and so it appeared in an ammended notice. In their request they do make the comment that both gardens would only benefit their unit.
