The application relates to a number of categories of work. A grant for a bathroom cannot be given as there is already a bathroom in the house. As the required waiting period of seven years has not elapsed since the payment of a reconstruction grant in June 1981 the approval of grants for an extension and for repairs-window and door replacement cannot be considered at this stage. However, the applicant's possible eligibility for an extension grant on the grounds of overcrowding (where a reduced waiting period of five years applies) or for a pre-1940 dwellings grant (where a waiting period does not apply) is being clarified with the inspector. The applicant will be advised of the outcome as soon as possible.
