17/01/2024 - Amendments to the income and savings thresholds to access affordable rented housing

Decision to:
(a)increase the gross household income threshold below which applications to the current adopted Housing Register, and Allocations Scheme can be accepted and nominations for social housing can be made, from the current threshold of £48,000 to £60,000 to reflect current housing affordability and need within the district
(b)set a maximum threshold for savings of £16,000 to qualify for affordable rented housing, with this threshold acting independently of the income threshold.
