Tenant and Leaseholder Alteration and Improvement Policy

In some cases, it will not be possible to grant permission for an alteration or an improvement.

Examples of when permission will be refused are:

• the proposed works are detrimental to the structure and/or long- term maintenance of the property
• there would be any additional cost to the Council because of the alterations/improvements
• the works may decrease the overall value of the property
• the proposal will breach planning, building regulations or any other relevant legislation
• the environmental impact of the proposal is detrimental to the property and or surrounding area; or
• the works will impact the health and safety of those living in or visiting the property or block

The above list is not exhaustive. Where permission has been refused, the tenant may submit revised proposals for consideration.
