Schedule 21, paragraph 3

This paragraph applies if— A occupies premises under a tenancy, A is proposing to make an alteration to the premises so as to comply with a duty to make reasonable adjustments, and but for this paragraph, A would not be entitled to make the alteration. This paragraph also applies if— A is a responsible person in relation to common parts, A is proposing to make an alteration to the common parts so as to comply with a duty to make reasonable adjustments, A is the tenant of property which includes the common parts, and but for this paragraph, A would not be entitled to make the alteration. The tenancy has effect as if it provided— for A to be entitled to make the alteration with the written consent of the landlord, for A to have to make a written application for that consent, for the landlord not to withhold the consent unreasonably, and for the landlord to be able to give the consent subject to reasonable conditions. If a question arises as to whether A has made the alteration (and, accordingly, complied with a duty to make reasonable adjustments), any constraint attributable to the tenancy must be ignored unless A has applied to the landlord in writing for consent to the alteration. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) or (2), A must be treated as not entitled to make the alteration if the tenancy— imposes conditions which are to apply if A makes an alteration, or entitles the landlord to attach conditions to a consent to the alteration.
