Apply for permission to alter your council home

You have the right to carry out improvements to your council property, such as:

  • fitting a new bathroom suite
  • replacing kitchen units
  • building a new fireplace
  • installing a satellite dish

However, you must first ask for permission and you must carry out any work to the guidelines that we give you.

Permission will not be unreasonably refused, but may be subject to certain conditions.

We will only refuse permission if the work would cause us expense, make it difficult to let the property in the future or give rise to complaints from other residents.

Installing a satellite dish

For information about installing a satellite on a council property, please follow the link on this page.

To apply for permission to carry out your own alterations, please contact Landlord Services giving full details of what you propose to do.
