At the HCERA AGM, it was reported that the purchase from Woodhill Properties Limited of the freeholds of all the long lease properties and the privately maintained roads and greens in the Conservation Area had been completed on 13th August 2019. Herbert Collins Estates Limited is now the new owner.
While the company was involved in buying the freeholds it was decided that we should adopt the policy of Woodhill Properties, and normally only approve alterations that match the original building in scale, design and materials. We will now concentrate on how we take forward the management of the Estate, and whether we need to make any changes to the Woodhill policy. At the AGM, a number of members of the company asked about how they could be involved, and suggested a meeting of members and directors might now be appropriate. The directors promised to look at this.
