520			_aLT 27 March 2000. The appellant council W owned a block of flats forming part of an estate. The roofs and windows fell into disrepair. W replaced the flat roofs with pitched roofs and replaced the metal framed windows with uPVC double-glazed units. W relied on cost-in calculations that suggested the works offered better value for money over the life of the buildings. Two-thirds of the flats were held under the right-to-buy provisions of the Housing Act 1985. The long leases meant the tenants were liable to a service charge in respect of repairs to windows and roofs. On application by G the tribunal decided that the decision to carry out the works was unreasonable. The council appealed. 'Held' the appeal was allowed.
