Local lettings policies

Find out about the criteria and details of any local lettings policies in your ward.

Some of the homes we let are subject to a local lettings policy (LLP). This means additional criteria applies to these homes.

Why we use LLPs

LLPs are put in place based on information about local housing demand and following community consultation.

LLPs must meet one of the following criteria:

  • support local communities in areas of high demand and low turnover
  • support balanced, safe sustainable communities
  • provide time limited support for a localised need, in conjunction with other measures
  • support the allocation of new build homes

Who gets preference

We give preference to people who meet the additional criteria when we let homes.

This is usually for applicants who:

  • are above a particular age
  • have a local connection to the area

For more information, read our policy on local lettings policies.
