Dorset Council want to hear from as many people as possible to help shape the new policy.
Local authorities have a public law duty to operate a Housing Allocation Scheme which explains how to register for housing, how applications are assessed, and how properties are allocated. The current scheme was introduced in 2021 and is now up for review to ensure it continues to meet legal requirements and good practice standards. The proposed policy makes some changes that will affect households on the current housing register.
Consultation closes 24 August 2025.
