Can I carry out vehicle repairs?

Only minor repairs can be carried out in your drive and you are not allowed to offer vehicle repair services from your drive. If you have a caravan, you can park it in your own driveway, but not in any communal area.

What are the penalties for parking without a permit

Many of our housing developments are covered by a private parking enforcement service which means that you can only park if you have a valid permit. Regular patrols are carried out to make sure that no unauthorised parking is taking place – the penalty for parking without a permit is a minimum of £40.

Can I keep a pet?

If you would like to keep a dog or cat at your home you must get permission from the Tenancy Management Team first. Please ask permission before buying exotic pets pythons, tarantulas etc. as we have had problems when these types of pet have escaped in the past. If you keep a smaller pet, such as a hamster, guinea pig or fish you do not need permission.
A decision will be made based on the type of pet you want, the size of suitability of your home and if you already have pets at the property. We can take away permission at any time should your pet become a nuisance to others
You should not leave any dog out to exercise itself and they must be kept on a lead whenever they are on communal areas. You are expected to bag and bin any dog waste. Exceptions are made for guide dogs.

It makes no difference what equipment you use, whether it is a laptop, PC, mobile phone, digital box, DVD recorder or TV set – you still need a licence.
