Regulation 11 Reasonableness where consent of third party necessary for an adjustment to physical features of premises
This regulation prescribes particular circumstances, for the purposes of regulation 6(2), in which it is reasonable, and in which it is not reasonable, for an association to have to take the steps specified in this regulation.
Where—
under any binding obligation an association is required to obtain the consent of any person to an alteration to premises which it occupies; and
that alteration is one which, but for that requirement, it would be reasonable for the association to have to make in order to comply with a duty under regulation 6(2),
it is reasonable for the association to have to request that consent; but it is not reasonable for it to have to make that alteration before that consent is obtained.
In this regulation “binding obligation” means a legally binding obligation (not contained in a lease) in relation to premises whether arising from an agreement or otherwise.
