This section explains how you should look after any garden that the property you live in may have.
11.1 You must keep all garden areas which you are responsible for neat and tidy.
11.1a If you fail to keep your garden tidy and free from rubbish, we may carry out any necessary work to tidy it and charge you a reasonable cost for doing this.
11.2 If plants or trees cause a nuisance, you must prune them or remove them as necessary.
11.3 You must not build a garage in your garden without getting our written permission.
11.4 You must not put a greenhouse or shed in a shared garden, a greenhouse or shed over 2 metres square in a private garden, or more than 1 greenhouse or shed in a private garden without getting our written permission first.
11.4a You may still need to get planning permission and meet building regulations. We have the right to ask you to remove any garage, shed, greenhouse or outhouse that causes a nuisance.
11.5 You must not remove, alter, replace or plant any boundary hedge or fence at the property without getting our written permission first.
11.5a We may charge you for work we must carry out if you remove a boundary fence or hedge and do not replace it to a satisfactory standard.
11.5b We may ask you to remove any fencing or boundary structure you have put up if, in our opinion, it is dangerous or it causes a nuisance. If you do not remove it, we may do so and charge you a reasonable cost for doing this. If you do not pay, we may apply for a money judgement order, which could affect your ability to get credit in the future.
11.6 You must not plant large, fast-growing shrubs or trees in a place which might cause a nuisance to neighbours, or damage property.
11.7 You must not store rubbish, indoor furniture, household appliances, inflammable materials or gas in the garden area. If you do, we may remove the items and charge you a reasonable cost for doing this.
11.8 You must not pour dangerous or harmful substances, including oil and chemicals, down ordinary drains.
