Banding Guide

Posted on 4 Dec 2024

To get a housing band, you must first be accepted onto the Housing Register. This means you need to meet the rules about living in the area and not be disqualified by other rules. However, in special cases, the council can decide to ignore these rules if they think there are exceptional reasons to do so.

There are three bands: 

  • Band 1: Urgent or exceptional housing need to move
  • Band 2: High priority, statutory housing need to move
  • Band 3: Lower priority need to move

For more information about each band download the guide below.
