Making alterations

If you want to make alterations to your home, you should talk to your Neighbourhood Housing Officer.

Before you make any alterations to your home you must write to us to obtain permission - this applies to shared ownership properties as well as rental.

We have to ensure that your home is not damaged or made unsafe. In some cases, you will also have to obtain Planning Permission or Building Regulations Approval from the local authority.

An alteration is anything which is an addition or change to the property or its gas, electrical or water supply.
