Re: ok for some, but not others….

as mentioned below we would like to install metal privacy screens (at our cost & exempting the OC of all responsibility) to our front terrace, raising the height to about 1.8m. We have employed a landscape design company to up with a design. The design they have come up with exists elsewhere in the development so suits the aesthetic perfectly. 

The developer, who is an EC member, does not want to allow this claiming we want to change the architectural fabric of the building, as I pointed out to him, the metal screen design exists elsewhere in the development, so we are not changing the architectural fabric, we are actually referencing it.

stupidly our EC is made up of more investors than owner/occupiers and the other investors tend to follow his lead, thinking that as ‘the developer’ he knows what is best for the building.

The developer has now agreed to a request for a large awning from another ground floor apartment, this awning will be bolted onto the common wall of the terrace, will be 3.5m wide and 3m long – yet somehow this awning does not change the architectural fabric of the building.

Prior to settlement, we had a long legal battle with this developer over a contract issue, much to his dismay, he was forced to honour the contract, which ended up costing him a fair bit of money. I believe his refusal to even consider the privacy screens comes from his contempt towards me. he can barely be civil towards me. he is rude and abrupt in person & via email. 

If I feel his constant refusal to even consider anything I put forward to the EC is personal, is there an avenue where I can pursue this?

Thanks
