Thanks again KP and Jimmy – here is a copy of my email to the CMS today :-
Dear Sir,
Further to our previous email correspondence of the 5th December, 2013 wherein we still await a response , we understand that the CMS has now again deferred our application pending discussions with the local council on so called procedural matters notwithstanding our approval … suggesting at any time that this was a requirement pre installation .We also understand that since our application in September 2013 , not all Shutter Applications within the Community have been deferred, noting approval for shutters at lot Y for the install of two shutters 28/10/13 ; lot Z fixed shutters north and south with 100 per cent coverage 25/11/13 seemingly indicating a glaring inconsistency in the application of due process.Given that our application will provide much needed sun screening to the western side of the balcony only and will remain open for the majority of the year… not to mention other similar and more pervasive instals at the same complex we cannot comprehend the reasoning for selectively discriminating against this approval.… it is our intention to use the shutters in a fully extended position to screen the western sun during the hotter months/days .Accordingly we ask that the CMS reconsider our application and approve its installation on or before its next meeting. Otherwise we will have no option but to seek adjudicators orders at the CTTT .It is our fervent hope that common sense prevails and that the CMS time is given to the many more competing and difficult priorities within the estate .
