Tenant and Leaseholder Alteration and Improvement Policy

As a leaseholder, you will need to request permission and gain our consent for any structural alterations (internal or external) or changes to the external appearance of your property e.g. replacement windows or property front/back or side door. You do not need to ask us for permission to install new kitchen units or bathroom suites unless the changes affect the electrical or water supply to other residents. Leaseholders will need to ask permission for any works involving boiler replacements or relocation of the boiler or any work which penetrates the boundary walls or floors/ceiling of the flat. In addition, any alterations that could affect fire safety of your home or neighbouring properties require prior the Council's approval.

In considering requests the terms of the lease will also be considered.
