Where possible, maximum use of aligned possession periods is encouraged, and as such late requests to include works within aligned possessions will be considered on a case by case basis.
Late requests should be supported by a clear statement of the benefits and costs associated with;
a. including the proposed works within a planned possession and
b. not undertaking the works at the proposed time or within the planned possession.
