12. Letting Agreement You asked us how the new builds will be let so we approached the NBBC who have done the following: – Agreed the following new lettings policy which was scrutinised at the Housing, Health & Communities Overview & Scrutiny Panel.

13. New Lettings Policy What the new Local Lettings Policy means: 25% of homes will be advertised with priority for Council Tenants needing to downsize due to the Welfare Reform The four ground floor flats will be advertised to applicants aged 40+ The two Bungalows will be advertised for applicants aged 60+ The four first floor flats will be advertised for applicants with no dependant children aged 5 or under 25% of homes will be prioritised to existing Council Tenants. This means 16 of the 36 new homes will be tenanted by existing Council Tenants, and the remaining 20 homes will be offered to new Tenants
