Deed of postponement

Options
Hello we have brought our house last year on right to buy we would now like to increase our mortgage for home improvement such as windows/ doors, bathroom and kitchen our bank are happy to increase but need the permission for the council. The council want £150 and all the quotes for the work we would ike carried out for a solicitor. The solicitor wants £250 to send the request, before I pay  can anyone advise me on if they would refuse the postponement? 
Thank you in advance

    They may do and they might not.
    The only way you will find out is to pay the £250 to your solicitor and £150 to the council to submit your plans.
    If your replacing white wooden/old uPVC windows with nice new white uPVC windows of the same style then they are far more likely to say YES than if you want Green windows and Doors !
    Your replacing an old kitchen/bathroom with a new kitchen and bathroom. Good.
    Adding a two storey rear extension might be a different story for approval.
