I have been awarded a priority following a delegated decision by council officers – why can I only bid for a flat or maisonette with my priority?
A delegated decision priority has been awarded because it is recognised that you have an urgent need to move, thereby alleviating the current problems you are experiencing. The priority awarded will enable you to bid for a property of the same type as your current home – this is in line with the council’s allocations policy. The decision may also require that you move away from the area of your curent home and may restrict the areas you can move to. Once you are re-housed, you may re-apply to join the transfer list. Your application will be awarded the date of your current transfer application so that you application can continue as before.
