Decision details

To approve a Discretionary Top-Up Grant of £24,781.20 to support a ground-floor extension providing a bedroom and ensuite bathroom for a partially wheelchair dependent parent. The adaptation will also enable an autistic child, who currently disrupts his sibling at night, to have a separate bedroom. With both mandatory and discretionary funding, the total cost of the adaptations will exceed £50,000.

Further to a Consultation carried out prior to reorganisation with the Disabled Adaptations Advisory Group it was agreed that these works were required to enable the independence and safety of the parent.

Due to the constraints of Planning in the National Parks this is the most effective option.
