Stewardship
Innovation is a primary factor behind the development of Ironstone, and the introduction of a long-term stewardship initiative is set to become a blueprint for future developments of this scale.
The concept of long-term stewardship is relatively new in the UK, and involves the home-owners becoming actively involved in the management of their neighborhood and environment. This encourages residents to not only take pride in their village, but also make decisions on its future.
Each household within Ironstone, irrespective of tenure or property type within Ironstone will therefore pay the same annual community charge of £250 to Ironstone Management Services (IMS). There will also be a nominal service charge for shared areas and a standard service charge for leasehold apartments. Interested residents will have the opportunity to sit on the IMS management committee and take part in the decision making process, to ensure value for money and most appropriate use of financial resources.
Key benefits of the scheme include:
• Premium value property
• Sustainable community
• Security and general wellbeing
• Increased good neighbourliness and community involvement
• Control of car parking, street lighting etc
• Properly managed external environment
• Support and assistance where required
• Reduced anti-social behaviour
• Community involvement
• Protected visual amenity
