Secure tenants have the right to improve their home, as long as they get our written permission first. An improvement means an alteration or addition and would include the following:

• installing any new or replacement fixtures or fittings, such as heating or kitchen units;
• installing satellite dishes or aerials; and
• putting up fencing.

All requests for permission should be made in writing and addressed to the Tenants Relations Section or fill in the on-line form.

No alterations should be made until our written permission has been given, which will also state what conditions need to be kept.

Please note that, if tenants have our permission as landlord, they will still need to get any necessary planning permission or building regulations approval for the work.

Please see our council housing pages for more information on all aspects of your tenancy.
