TENANT IMPROVEMENT OR ALTERATIONS

It is a condition of your tenancy that you must get permission to carry out improvements or alterations to your property. This is to ensure that the quality of the work can be monitored to avoid any structural alterations being made which may be dangerous, affect the use and enjoyment of the property, invalidate the Council’s building insurance and that any work is undertaken in accordance with any necessary statutory regulations.

If you are on an introductory tenancy, any applications will automatically be declined as per our policy. If there is an exceptional need for you to apply for permission whilst in this period, please contact us on 02380 285222.
