To review the consultation results on the Housing Allocations Policy and adopt the final version.
Local housing authorities have a duty to make sure that homes, which they own or have nomination rights to, are let in accordance with a published allocation scheme. The allocation scheme must describe the procedure for letting homes and for determining the relative priority accorded to different categories of applicants.
At its meeting on 2 September 2019, the Executive approved a new Draft Housing Allocations Policy for a six-week period of consultation.
Public consultation took place between 16 September and 25 October 2019, with a total of 187 comments received.
As a result of the consultation some small changes have been made to the draft version to inform the final version of the Housing Allocations Policy which is recommended for adoption.
