Thanks so much for the heads up on this Scott and Paul – the situation has somewhat of a further complication as our SP is part of a Community Estate that has its own Community Association Executive that oversees the entire estate. My neighbour is our SP rep on the Community Association Executive. As a result our own SP exec required me to get approval from the CAE – they then challenged their own scheme architects and have told me that my shutter application is deferred indefinitely until they reconcile the so called inconsistencies. Meanwhile 9 months have elapsed – since our original application 6 months seeking approval from our own exec and 3 months with the CAE … I can only draw the conclusion that our application is being intentionally derailed just not sure of next steps – Our balcony is virtually unusable in the hotter months .. we have complied with each request , Several apartments have enclosed their balconies in exactly the same way , the neighbour objecting himself has a shutter yet we are being told that the SP has had legal advice and they are not bound by precedence .. we are being frustrated at every turn !
