Being a considerate neighbour
Outdoor spaces are meeting places that remain close to homes.
The principle
Outdoor spaces are meeting places that remain close to homes.
Practical guidance
Let neighbours know before an unusual activity, limit disturbance and keep routes clear. Pets are accompanied and waste is picked up. Concerns are handled respectfully without publishing personal information.
Planning a change
For an exterior change, gather the description, sketch, materials and schedule before requesting review. Wait for a written response before starting work.
Edition and follow-up
