Gardens

You are responsible for maintaining your garden and keeping it tidy. This includes cutting the grass regularly, cutting and maintaining any hedges or trees so that they do not overgrow any paths or neighbouring land. If you fail to keep your garden tidy we will request in writing that you do so. If you continue not to maintain the garden we will undertake the work and charge you, and recover from you the costs of any necessary legal action.

You must keep your garden and surrounding area free from any rubbish, furniture or domestic or commercial appliances. We will remove any such items and charge you for doing this. You will be given 24 hours notice that we will be removing the items.

You must not, without getting our written permission:

• put a conservatory, greenhouse, garage, shed, patio, decking, aviary, pigeon loft, fishpond, pool or similar structure in your garden
• remove, replace or plant any hedge, fence or tree at the property; this includes pruning of existing trees, which may also be the subject of a tree preservation order
