The Cedar Chase Residents’ Society was set up by Span when the estate was built. Eric Lyons was always keen to point out that Span built communities<\/em> as well as houses, and it has certainly worked here. There are not many housing estates where most residents know everyone<\/em> who lives there, but Cedar Chase is one of them.<\/p>\n

The Residents’ Society is a limited company – technically a Friendly Society<\/em> – and every house owns one share. The Society in turn owns all of the communal areas: front gardens, paths and woodlands. There are strong covenants between the Society and the householders, setting out the rights and responsibilities of each, and the legal structure<\/a> is governed by a Scheme of Management approved by the High Court.<\/p>\n

The main duties of the society are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Maintain the gardens, woodlands, and communal areas.<\/li>\n
  2. Paint<\/a> the outside of the houses on a regular schedule.<\/li>\n
  3. Clean the windows every month.<\/li>\n
  4. Maintain the estate lighting and communal TV aerial.<\/li>\n
  5. Prevent inappropriate changes to the appearance of the estate.<\/li>\n
  6. Collect maintenance fees and maintain a sinking fund.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In addition the Society acts as a focal point for the social life of the estate by:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Publishing a newsletter for residents<\/li>\n
    2. Organising a summer Ox Roast<\/li>\n
    3. Maintaining a block membership of the Hitcham and Taplow Society<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

      The main duties of householders are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. To pay the maintenance charge<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. To maintain the house and garage in good condition<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Not to change the external appearance of the house or garage without explicit permission from the Society<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
