Making changes to your council home

In this section

  1. You are here: Making changes to your council home
  2. Guidelines for Home Alterations: Permission, Process, and Compliance
  3. Alterations and Permissions: What You Can and Cannot Do
  4. Recovering your costs

This section provides clear information for tenants who wish to carry out changes or improvements to their council properties.

It outlines the types of changes that require permission, the application process, and the standards that must be met to ensure safety and compliance. The aim is to help tenants understand their responsibilities and the Council’s expectations, and to ensure that all modifications are safe, appropriate, and in line with the terms of their tenancy agreement.

Please ask before making any changes to your property. We can offer advice on our requirements and expectations.
