    Where do we stand with getting permission to build the granny annexe as we don’t actually own our house yet as we are renting off the council. We are looking to buy our house in about 5 years, unfortunately we are currently not in a position to buy our house yet.

    I think you've answered your own question there.

    You don't own the house. You can't go making extensive modifications to a house that isn't yours.

    Even if it was approved, which I very much doubt it would, imagine if you spent all that money on the extension and then were refused the RTB, or found out you couldn't get a mortgage?

    If your mum needs care, why can't she use her money she has to pay for professional care?

    If Mum has that much money, why is she staying in unsuitable accommodation waiting for the council to rehire her?

    Exactly, why cant she go into some kind of assisted living accommodation.
