Under section 97 of the Housing Act 1985 all eligible tenants have the right to make alterations or improvements to their homes. While tenants must have permission to carry out any alterations or improvements, the law stipulates that this permission cannot be ‘unreasonably withheld’.
The draft Fareham Housing Alterations policy provides comprehensive information on the alterations process, background and relevant legislation. The document updates the information on our website and brings it together into a single policy.
A period of 6 weeks public consultation will be undertaken on the draft Policy before it returns to the Executive for formal adoption.
At its meeting on 9 January 2025, the Housing Scrutiny Panel considered the Policy and a number of comments or suggestions were made.
