Tenancy Strategy
The council is required by the Localism Act 2011 to produce this strategy. Amongst other things, it covers our views on the new form of tenure in social housing (Flexible Tenancies) to which Registered Providers (Housing Associations) operating in the district must have regard.
It was produced in conjunction with local partners and agreed by the council’s Executive in September 2012. The strategy will be revised from time to time so any comments you may have would be welcome. Please either write to us at Three Rivers House or email – housingenquiries@threerivers.gov.uk
Housing Allocations Policy
Following consultation with residents, partnership organisations and approval from the Infrastructure, Housing and Economic Development Committee, Three Rivers District Council launched our new Housing Allocations Policy on 2 August, 2021.
All current and future applications to the Council’s Housing Register will be assessed and given the appropriate priority against this new Policy.
As a part of this process you may be required to update or provide further information to your current application. Please do not contact the Council at this point, you will be contacted in due course if you need to do anything.
