Council tenants
Using the property for business

You must not run a business or trade from your home without our written permission. We will not refuse permission unless we feel that the business is likely to cause a nuisance to other people, or damage to the property. If we do give permission for you to run a business from your home, and it causes a nuisance, we will withdraw the permission.

As well as obtaining permission under the tenancy conditions, you should also check whether or not planning or other permissions are needed. The Director of Housing reserves the right to withdraw any permission granted under the tenancy conditions to run a business if other permissions are not obtained. Your housing officer can provide you with more information.
