Architectural Design

Before beginning construction for all additions or alterations to any lot subject to the MDCCR of Newtown Estates which alter the exterior appearance of any residence or structure, including walls and fences, and including the painting thereof must first submit a Newtown Estates Architectural Application form and must obtain a Newtown Estates Architectural approval permit from the Architectural Committee before the start of the project.

These procedures and the Architectural Design Committee review and approval are only for compliance with Newtown Estates planning and design standards.  Owners are responsible for obtaining any necessary City and County building permits and for complying with all applicable codes, ordinances, and regulations.
