Requirements for property sizes

 
The following rules are used to allocate properties to applicants in Band C to make sure the Council makes best use of housing stock:

  • Houses are generally allocated to a household with children (aged 15 or less)
  • Two children (whatever gender) under 10 years old can share a bedroom
  • Two children (same gender) under 16 years old can share a bedroom (unless the age gap is over 10 years)
  • Two children of opposite gender where at least one is 10 years old or over need a bedroom each
  • Each person over 16 years old needs their own bedroom.
