Summary
Mr C was concerned that the council had not reasonably assessed whether the structural stability and provision of natural light to his house met the tolerable standard in terms of the Housing (Scotland) Act, and that the council had not reasonably considered whether to exercise powers under the Roads (Scotland) Act in relation to a footpath outside his home.
We found that no request for an assessment of tolerable standard had been made by Mr C, and did not uphold this complaint. We also found that the council had correctly concluded that the Roads (Scotland) Act did not apply to the footpath outside Mr C's house, as it had not been adopted by them and they were not responsible for its maintenance. We did not uphold this complaint.
