Adopt the changes to the Housing Allocations Policy as set out in the attached report. In summary these are:

  • To exclude those who own their own homes except in extenuating circumstances.
  • To exclude those households who have the financial resources to secure alternative accommodation
  • To give priority to those households who are in work or training schemes and need to move closer to their job.
