Melton Borough Council's Housing Allocations Policy

Overview

Melton Borough Council is in the process of reviewing its Choice Based Lettings and Housing Allocations Policy and is running a consultation to allow local residents and stakeholders to share their views.

Why your views matter

Housing allocations policies determine who can join the housing register for social housing and determine the level of priority which will be awarded based on an applicant’s circumstances.

The council is reviewing its housing allocations policy in the context of local housing need and in response to current legislation and national policy changes.  

The new Draft Choice Based Lettings and Housing Allocations Policy details our updated priorities for allocating social housing, which provides us the opportunity to better match the local needs with suitable housing and to use our housing resources as effectively as possible.

We value the views of our residents and stakeholders and would encourage everyone to view the policy and complete our online survey of the updated document.
