Keyways Review October 2025

All local housing authorities are legally required to have a clear and transparent scheme that sets out how social and affordable housing is allocated, including how applications are assessed and how priority is determined. 

North Northamptonshire Council is currently reviewing its Housing Allocations Scheme and is seeking your views on a number of proposed changes. 

The proposed scheme will: 

  • Replace the current Housing Allocations Scheme for North Northamptonshire 

  • Apply to both existing and new applicants 

  • Retain the familiar Choice Based Lettings approach to allocations

  • Continue to prioritise good quality, affordable housing for those in the greatest housing need, while supporting sustainable tenancies and communities

Consultation 

We invite you to give your views on the Council’s proposed changes on how social and affordable housing is allocated across North Northamptonshire.

Residents, tenants, applicants, internal departments, housing associations and statutory and voluntary organisations are among those being encouraged to give their feedback on the proposals as part of a six-week consultation.  Your feedback will help shape the final version of the scheme, which will be presented to the Council's Executive for consideration and approval.
