Browse Forums General Discussion Re: Overshadowing but not overshadowing 21Aug 27, 2017 4:00 am Hi I have faced a similar issue with my builder (Carlisle). we signed the contract with them and now as per them as mentioned in the email - "We are required to provide a diagram on your plans that shows we achieve 40 square meters of Private Open Space to the rear of the adjoining property." They didn't mention any of these issues prior to signing the contract and they waited until we get the mortgage approval from the bank. what we really don't understand is that if Carlisle is using this point to reduce their building cost or if there is really a legitimate reason. And they were asking us to do the following changes, which we vehemently rejected not agree at all. 1. Change the Facade completely 2. Move the house forward to increase the space to the rear yard 3.reducee the length of the house by 400mm through the meals/Alfresco & Bed 4 / Bed 3 including WIR’s. The 720 hinged doors to bed 3 and bed 4 would need to change to cavity sliding doors.Please find below the overshadowing drawing which they provided with our contract. By now they have received my neighbor Objection and they have applied for the council report.This is our first home and we really don't know what to do if Council rejects our building permit Please advise MomijiThank you, Chanaka Re: Overshadowing but not overshadowing 22Jul 24, 2020 9:22 pm jova7 Hi I have faced a similar issue with my builder (Carlisle). we signed the contract with them and now as per them as mentioned in the email - "We are required to provide a diagram on your plans that shows we achieve 40 square meters of Private Open Space to the rear of the adjoining property."
