Browse Forums Building A New House Re: UMBRA Estate Greenvale 11Feb 10, 2017 7:32 pm We are neighbors, we are on Greenhaven Drive. Are you saying your plan has already been approved by the panel. As far as I know Henley have not submitted our plans to the design panel as yet. I will ask them. Henley made us add additional render to our facade to meet the requirement, at our expense of course. Maybe I should try your little trick. Can i ask if anything has been done on your block with regard to soil testing? Re: UMBRA Estate Greenvale 12Feb 10, 2017 8:36 pm Hey neighbor....lol. I dont no if they have done any soil test as i haven't asked. Our lady a metricon submitted our plans and the front garden design with fence last week. It came back as I had to include the front fence on the front veiw of the house plans. With the garden i had to show the plant ratios per square meter (back to high school). Yeah, we had just over 20% brick work showing, it was the 2 front pillars of the house. We changed it to render one because we could not render both as it would be more then 70% of one type of material. They said it would look better with the two pillers in brick, then we had the tick. Re: UMBRA Estate Greenvale 14Feb 11, 2017 9:59 am I do agree. I would have at least said 1200mm. When you do drive around through other estate without front fences i do like the idea of the fence as it will finish off the estate. It makes it nice and neat Re: UMBRA Estate Greenvale 15Feb 13, 2017 12:23 pm Hi, I spoke with Metricon today to ask and they have already received soil test and surveys on the property – only waiting on further service information and Title on the land. Title would have to be near! Did you mention to Henley that they can submit the plans to the developer anytime ( as long as there are no more structural changes). It only took a few day for us to get feedback back from them through the builder. Hope its smooth sailing for you! Re: UMBRA Estate Greenvale 16Feb 13, 2017 9:26 pm Ssjo, thanks for your info. I spoke to Henley today. Our landscape plan has been approved. That's one tick. Henley have requested a soil test, once received they apparently attach that to the house plan for submission to the design panel. Hopefully that will happen soon. As you have said, land tittle cannot be far away. Re: UMBRA Estate Greenvale 18Mar 01, 2017 12:38 pm Hi Ssjo, My conveyancer told me yesterday the lots in stage 2 had titled. Our settlement is on the 14th. At least from then on we can see something tangible happening on our lots. Still a long way to go though! Re: UMBRA Estate Greenvale 19Mar 02, 2017 10:30 am Hi guys, We have land up the road in heritage views. Quick question, after the developers had finished works on the land, how long did it take for all the titles and paperwork to be finalized until you were able to settle, Re: UMBRA Estate Greenvale 20Mar 02, 2017 11:35 am The land was finished 14/12/16 (no more work from the developer). The developer handed the paperwork to the titles on the 2nd of February and we received titles on the 27/2. Then 2 weeks more for settlement to take place. |
