Permissions
In your Tenancy Agreement you'll find full details about
circumstances where the Council's written consent is needed before
you go ahead with any plans.
In general you should:
- Contact your
local area housing office setting out what you'd like to do,
and ask for permission to go ahead.
- Expect a member of staff to arrange to visit you and assess
your request, although this is not always necessary.
- You will usually receive our decision in writing.
- If you've not heard from us within 28 days of contacting us to
ask for permission you're entitled - by law - to assume permission
has been granted, as long as you have given us all the required
information to enable us to make a decision.
- Keep all the correspondence for future reference.
- Remember to reapply for permission (if you still need
it) if you transfer to another Council house.
We won't refuse any request without good reason, but sometimes
there will be certain conditions you have to agree to meet. If we
do refuse permission we will tell you why.
Permission may be withdrawn if at any time the activity we agreed
to causes a nuisance or annoys neighbours or other people in the
area.
