Our towns, villages and cities were laid out was when we never had
ridiculous draconian Stalinist planning systems geared to keep the

But in the absence of planning controls many properties were sold with
very rigourous covenants, which many residents associations try and
exploit today. On some of the private estates on Coombe Hill (Kingston,
SW London) any alterations to the outside of your property have to be
approved by the Residents Association. Tough if you've crossed the
chairman as there's no appeal.
