Social Landlord Service: Adaptations Policy

12. Exceptions and discretion

1. Decisions in relation to adaptations to council properties will be made in accordance with this policy.  In some exceptional circumstances, an Executive Director will consider using their discretion to approve adaptation works which cost more than £60,000 where the works do not result in an additional bedroom or bedroom being provided.   The exercise of this discretion, however, remains subject to funding being available to fund the additional cost and the works being necessary and appropriate and reasonable and practical.  The total cost of the works required shall not exceed £100,000.
2. Any such decision will not set a precedent for other requests as each decision will be made on the specific circumstances of the case.
