No. The grant of £600 approved in this case related to the provision of an extra bedroom and is the maximum grant payable for such works under the relevant statutory regulations.
A grant could not be approved in respect of repairs to the house because, contrary to a qualifying condition of the house improvement scheme, ten years had not elapsed since a previous reconstruction grant was paid in respect of this house.
