I am also talking about cases involving local authorities. If people have a very good case and want to put in an extra room, there is general opposition and they are told it is not necessary. The standard has been set so high that it is quite worrying when you look at some of the cases that I have seen. The standard is being set far too high. I know of cases where people with three children with disabilities have been refused the chance to build an extra room that is absolutely necessary. That is a matter I am worried about.
