Housing Allocations Scheme Consultation
We plan to update our Housing Allocations Scheme in 2026/27.
Our Housing Allocation Scheme is a policy document, that determines how we allocate social housing in the borough.
In introducing the revised Housing Allocations Policy we seek to:
- provide an accessible, fair and transparent service
- meet local housing need
- meet the housing need of the most vulnerable
- prioritise those with the greatest / most urgent housing needs
- make the best use of existing social housing stock
- ensure equality of treatment for all applicants.
- meet the regulatory requirements and industry standards.
- Before making any changes, we want to hear what you think.
You can check the:
- draft Housing Allocation Scheme
- summary of the proposed changes in the Housing Allocations Scheme
