Everyone ignores covenants?

So it's very likely that it was for the "consistency of visuals while they're finishing the estate" thing. There's no way they'll care 30yrs later.peterhjohnson wrote: »A builder by the look of it. 1988
Not only was it utterly unrealistic to actually expect people not to have TV aerials then, but the late 80s was the height of the Sky/BSB "squarial" battle for early satellite TV adoption. I suspect that was what they had in mind - the houses almost certainly came pre-installed with terrestrial aerials, perhaps installed internally to the lofts.0 -
Our 2019 new build has a long list of restrictive covenants but most only last for five years which is the time the developers are expecting it to take to finish the development.
Funnily enough TV aerials and satelite dishes is one of them. They are not allowed to be placed on the front of the houses.
The house frontages and planting are supposed to remain as existing for five years but some people have already ignored that one and ripped out their planting and relandscaped to suit what they want instead. As it happens we quite like how ours has been planted with a lovely low hedge around the plot so we plan to keep it as it is.
There are supposed to be no commercial vehicles, caravans or boats on driveways either but several people have works vans and small commercial vehicles on their driveways.0
