Essay

Soon after marrying,John and Mary purchased a home in a new development.After living there for a number of years,they wanted to distinguish their home from others on the street by changing the roofing material and colour and installing old-fashioned light poles in the front of the house.When they shared their plans with neighbours,they were told that they would not be allowed to make such changes even though they owned the home.In checking their original home purchase documents,they discovered a building scheme that addressed roofs and outdoor lighting,among other things,leaving them very disappointed.Explain what is meant by a building scheme and how it compares with a restrictive covenant.
