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.

Enhanced Housing Options

This is an online form that you can complete to find the options for housing that are open to you. It is easy to do and will present you with a document summarising your housing options, that you can save or print.
