Local Lettings Policies
Some areas across County Durham are covered by Local Lettings Policies, which are time limited policies covering specific localities that are required because of reasons of supply, demand, affordability or to ensure balanced communities. Examples of Local Lettings Policies may include:
- Areas where housing is in short supply
- To ensure balanced communities and prevent anti social behaviour
- To take into account rural or city centre related issues with regard to demand and affordability
