I think your only line of complaint might be along the lines of discrimination, but given that past decisions don't necessarily set precedents, I'm not sure how far that would go.

What have you got in writing from the HA?

I have a text conversation from the contractors regarding the conservatory including price paid, quotes and a heads up the HA are trying to claw back the conservatory.

I have a complaint in process with regards to how they handled the allegation along with past matters of prejudice and discrimination towards my family.

My concern is they are just using excuses almost in retaliation. As other responses have said I will submit a new request making it clear it would be for a new conservatory. 

Thank you!

I have a feeling there's much more to this story than we are being told......

For example how did the ha come to think you stole the conservatory and therefore got the police involved?

I am hiding nothing. HA had the conservatory taken down. Contractor allowed me to take the conservatory, purchase the bi-fold doors and quoted a price for re-build.

The HA had an ‘anonymous’ phone call accusing me of stealing the conservatory. The HA should have advised the ‘anonymous’ caller to phone the police as theft is a crime however due to an ongoing complaint battle they used at as ammo, HA’s only problem being I did not steal the conservatory. 

Police should have been involved, I would have preferred they were!

It would appear the HA dont wont you to re-erect a conservatory they have previously condemned and why would they. Just because someone says they'll install it better this time wont make any difference, it been condemned end of. I agree with a PP try to apply again, this time with a new conservatory, not one scavenged from a skip 

The conservatory was a few months old. The tenants were kicked from the property for causing a large amount of damage to the property. The conservatory was the least of there problems as it had not been tied to the house. 

It was not salvaged from a skip, a certified conservatory installer took it down and said it was perfectly fine for re-use and they would happily re-build it, hence quoting a price for the job.

Bottom line is that the HA decides what it will or will not allow to be built on their property.

Had the police been involved you could have been in a spot of bother. You purchased something the seller may not have had a right to sell.

I can see some reasons here.

You bought bi fold doors and had the conservatory thrown in for free?

The HA had paid for the removal and disposal of that conservatory? By paying for the disposal the person who gave it to you had no right to do so. It was at this point the HA property

If a conservatory has been errected and taken down again it's fair bet that it is no longer sound enough to be errected again. It would be a very dodgy propersition and you would likely find yourself with leaks and draughts at best. That would put you and the property potentially at risk of damage and may put make their property unfit to rent.

Instead of getting angry ask them to explain why. Do it in a letter and ask for a written reply then there can be no room for 'he said, she said' and you can have the facts to understand or argue against with some reason.

Due to an ongoing complaint battle?

Does that mean you have some other non-conservatory issues going on with the HA as well?
