RESOLVED - That Cabinet endorsed the amendments to the Adaptations Policy.
REASONS FOR DECISION - The Policy complies with legislation and provides a framework for administering adaptations funded through the Housing Revenue Account (HRA). The policy amendments are in line with the Local Government & Social Care Ombudsman decision and are based on legislation and case law.
OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED – An alternative option of not amending the policy was rejected, as the Council would fail to comply with the Local Government & Social Care Ombudsman decision and case law.
Please note that this was not a Key Decision and so can be implemented with
immediate effect by officers.
