OUR LETTINGS POLICY
Section 106 Agreements
The Association offers tenancies to rural people in housing need and many of our properties are subject to a Section 106 Agreement. This is a planning agreement entered into with local authorities whereby they can restrict the use of the land and ensure that Housing Associations provide affordable housing for local people.
The section 106 agreement will stipulate that an applicant must have a local connection to the area if they wish to apply for accommodation. This will normally be where an applicant lives or has previously lived/worked in the area and has relatives residing there.
