Hutton Mount Estate Management
Hutton Mount Limited
Hutton Mount Limited owns and manages the roads, verges and footpaths, including drainage and lighting on the Estate and ensures that these are maintained to a satisfactory condition.
The Directors of Hutton Mount Limited live on the Estate. They are volunteers and ensure that the Estate is managed and kept to a good standard for the benefit of all residents.
Properties on Hutton Mount generally have covenants in favour of Hutton Mount Limited. This ensures that development and works on the Estate are controlled by Hutton Mount Limited to maintain the aesthetic qualities of the Estate and that there is some control over development. This is in addition to the normal planning application process via Brentwood Borough Council.
The majority of properties on the Estate have covenants that prevent development in front of the covenanted building line. To comply with the Hutton Mount Limited guidelines a development cannot be built within 1.2m of a boundary. There are additional restrictions on materials and heights of buildings.
Further information regarding Hutton Mount Limited development guidelines can be found under the ‘Residents Area’ of this website.
The Hutton Mount Estate is an exclusive and private residential development. Traditionally plots were a minimum of a quarter of an acre, ensuring that large-scale developments were not carried out on the Estate, protecting the spacious, rural and idyllic qualities that the Estate residents enjoy.
Trees and hedges are particularly important and, whilst the Estate does allow some vehicular security gates, with entrance piers, these are limited in size. Walls, fences and railings are generally not allowed, particularly on the boundaries, unless a railing is masked by a hedge.
Hedges can be replaced with new, but a mature hedge needs to replace an existing hedge.
Trees are particularly important, and the loss of a tree is not generally acceptable unless it is diseased or dying. If this is the case, a tree needs to be replaced with another tree of a suitable size and species.
