Changing your home

Making Changes to Your Home

The way the village looks is extremely important in contributing to the high quality environment you live in. We need to safeguard the quality and charm of the village for the future.

With this in mind, before you start any work that would affect the external appearance of your property or garden, residents are required to submit an application form to Pobl Living for approval of the works. Obtaining Garden Village consent should take between 4-6 weeks.

Examples of your responsibilities as a resident of Loftus Garden Village include;

• Front garden gates must be maintained to an acceptable standard, painted white only and must not be removed.
• Front gardens should be maintained to an acceptable standard and new shrubs should be of an appropriate size and should not over dominate the front garden.
• Trees form an integral part of the village landscape and must not be removed.
• Boundary walls facing onto the highway should not be painted.
• Front gardens hedges are maintained by Loftus Garden Village Management Company and must not be removed.

 

Statutory Consents

Newport City Council is your Local Planning Authority and applications for planning permission, as well as any other form of statutory authorisation, must still be made to the City Council. Some minor alterations and changes might not need the City Council’s consent, but it is advisable to check with the Authority before commencing any works to see if their prior authorisation is required.

All alterations that would affect the external appearance of your property require consent from Pobl Living even if planning consent is not required from the Local Planning Authority.
