Prioritising Housing Register Applicants
Applicants who are eligible and qualify to join the housing register will have their current housing circumstances assessed to determine their priority for housing, which is reflected in the band they are placed in.
Priority is ranked from Band A (highest priority) to Band E (lowest priority).
When completing a housing application, applicants are asked to indicate their reasons for applying to join the register.
Applicants will only be assessed for the highest priority band they qualify for. For example, if an applicant qualifies for Band B due to overcrowding and Band C on medical grounds, they will be awarded Band B.
Each applicant will be assigned one band only.
Our housing bands are described in pages 57 to 61 of Bracknell Forest Council's Allocations Policy.
