Why we are consulting
The current Housing Allocations Scheme is under review. We welcome feedback through a public consultation to help inform consideration of key proposals.
We aim for the consultation to be wide reaching, and the data collected needs to be meaningful to support the review.
The results obtained from this public consultation will be collated and considered.
How to have your say
This consultation will start on Thursday 12 February 2026 and finish at 12 midday on Thursday 26 March 2026.
