It is generally the case that if the development is running smoothly, many people choose not to attend the agm as they do not have a grievance to air.
There is no mechanism to compel members to attend an agm; members of an OMC may choose not to attend. I fully appreciate that poor attendance at an agm is unhelpful in the management of developments and onerous for directors who have given their free time with little or no recognition of their efforts.
Under section 23 of the MUDs Act , the OMC must provide a draft of the proposed house rules to its members no less than 21 days in advance of the agm. The members will consider and accept or reject the house rules at the meeting and thereafter they are binding provided the house rules are consistent with that which is set out in section 23 of the Act. If the OMC had the resources, it might be a worthwhile exercise to provide a return stamped addressed envelope to members with the proxy vote on the issue so as to entice the members to participate.
It would be helpful to note the cost of doing so in response to the poor attendance historically so the members can see the financial cost of their absence.

Q I a m in the early stages of planning some alterations to a newly purchased second-hand home.
One of the changes involves removing an internal wall in the living room. However, I have been advised by a friend that I may not be able to remove this wall without removing the chimney. Does this require planning permission? AThe planning regulations list exempted development which is work that can be carried out without the need to submit a planning application.
There is no reference to the removal of a chimney over the roof level. However the erection of a chimney for a central heating system is exempted development. The planning authority would consider whether the removal of the chimney would have a detrimental effect to the sustainable development of the area.
Also, whether the property is a protected structure or situated within a conservation area and if it is recorded in the building list of the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage. An application can be made to obtain a certificate of exempted development. This process is dealt with quicker than a planning application. Contact your local planning officer for a definitive opinion.
It is, of course, possible to remove the chimney structure below roof level, leaving the chimney in place over the roof.
This is something I have done on a few occasions. However, with any demolition work, I would advise that you seek professional help.
This should include an assessment of the effect on the existing structure by removing the wall and the supports that will be necessary to maintain in order to ensure the stability of the structure. Temporary work will involve propping structures during demolition work, along with making safe any services attached to or alongside the wall. Search for local. Toggle navigation.
