Pembrokeshire Housing Financial Assistance Policy
Wheelchair and mobility scooter storage
On 17 March 2025, Cabinet approved a revision to the policy on wheelchair and mobility scooter storage. As a result, Pembrokeshire County Council no longer installs or funds wheelchair or mobility scooter stores for council tenants or private householders.
Funding previously available through the Welsh Government Physical Adaptations Grant programme for Housing Associations was withdrawn in 2023. Consequently, funding for the installation of wheelchair and mobility scooter stores is no longer available.
Tenants who wish to install a wheelchair or mobility scooter store at their own expense must obtain written landlord permission before carrying out any works.
This may include alterations such as:
- Installing a ramp
- Creating an access path
- Providing a hard-standing area
- Adapting or installing a garage, shed or other suitable storage facility
- Installing an appropriate electrical charging point
All associated costs must be met by the tenant. Applications for landlord permission must be supported by relevant documentation, including a certificate of electrical installation issued by an approved electrical contractor registered with a recognised electrical certification body, where electrical works are involved.
