Welcome to our sub-regional choice based lettings scheme

Introduction

We successfully run a choice based lettings system. We have also been working hard in partnership with others to improve our service to you. So we have:

formed a partnership with three other councils so we can create a sub-regional choice based lettings scheme
agreed a single banding scheme for all housing register applicants of each council
agreed new rules for calculating under-occupation and overcrowding when assessing your application for housing
introduced a new banding reason to cater for social and welfare aspects of your application
agreed guidelines on the types of property that will be advertised sub-regionally.
