Changes to the Housing register and Lettings Scheme

From June 2008 we reduced the number of bands from 7 to 4 as some were no longer needed. We now have Bands A, B, C, and D:

Band A

Everyone who was in band A before June 08 is still in band A.

We have now included in this band households who were in Band D which meant under occupying a council home.

As band A is not a date order band your position is not affected.

Band B

Remains the same.

Band C

Remains the same.

Band D

Band E was those in the Borough with no housing need and Band G was households who live outside of the Borough. Bands E and G have now merged to form Band D.

Band F

Had no home seekers in it so this has been removed.

Proofs

Before we make you an offer of permanent housing you will need to give proof of:

2 forms of ID for each person on the application
your current address for each adult person on the application
your previous address for five years for each adult person on the application if different to the current address
your immigration status if you are subject to immigration control
a clear rent account for a minimum of 6 months

You will not receive an offer of housing without providing the above information.

Renewals

You must still renew your application yearly or it will be cancelled from the register.
