Stage 3 now set to title in mid-January (Delayed from Nov/Dev).
Not sure what this will mean for later stages, but seems to be dragging on ;-;
I've been down to the estate to check out some of the completed houses in Stages 1 & 2. Looks like a lot of people have not been following the design guidelines to the letter, so maybe they aren't that strict?
Some of the things I noticed:
- people using roof tiles that aren't flat profile
- front fences not completed/not in the style stated in the guidelines
- bins being stored under porches instead of out of sight behind side gates/garages
- people with no turf in the front yard
- people using plants not on the approved list
I also noticed most houses do not have paths from the street to the front door, they mostly use the driveway as a path. This is great if we can do it, will save me money on fencing & landscaping.
Only other thing I noticed was that someone has been through the empty parts of the estate breaking pipes, removing survey pegs and dumping rubbish
