A previous reconstruction grant had been paid in respect of the house on 27 October, 1981. A period of seven years would have to elapse from that date before payment of the normal grant for works to the fabric of the house (including replacement of defective windows/doors) could be allowed. The special grant for pre-1940 dwellings does not apply as the approved cost of the proposed works was less than the qualifying threshold of £4,000.
