An application in respect of the building of a bedroom to relieve overcrowding was received on 5 November 1985. This application has been rejected because, contrary to a statutory condition of the scheme, the five year waiting period had not elapsed since the payment of a previous grant on 8 May 1981. It is open to the applicant to re-apply under the new scheme on the expiration of the waiting period provided overcrowding exists and the work has not started before an inspection is carried out.
