Local lettings policies
National and regional policies encourage new housing schemes to be mixed tenure, catering for a range of needs and aspirations to create sustainable communities. Local lettings policies may make affordable housing available to households with a range of priority bandings across the register towards creating mixed and sustainable communities rather than concentrations of those with support needs. In line with these policies, we sometimes give additional priority to households with a local connection to the area in which a new development is located or working households.
We will work with Registered Providers where needed to develop local letting plans for new developments and deprived areas.
Where a property has a local letting plan, a full copy of the plan will usually be linked within the advert and will contain the specific criteria.
