Local Connection

In addition to the national eligibility criteria for First Homes owner occupiers, the Council will require all applicants and purchasers of First Homes to have a local connection to the Council, as set out the Council’s Allocations Policy. In determining whether the household has a local connection the Council will agree a connection exists in the following circumstances, noting that if an applicant has no connection that meets the qualification criteria and claims a connection on the basis of special circumstances then the decision to allow them on the list can be made by a Senior Officer:

Local Connection Criteria

The Council will apply a local connection criteria for First Homes applicants as there are affordability issues in the local authority area due to high house prices that are inaccessible to those with lower quartile and median incomes. The local connection criteria is extracted from the Council’s housing allocations policy which was consulted upon prior to implementation.

In determining whether the household has local connection we will agree a connection exists in the following circumstances;

- Where the local connection arises due to residency the applicant(s) must have lived in the local authority area (by choice) for a minimum period of two years.

- Where the local connection arises due to employment and the applicant(s) have been in permanent, paid employment for a minimum period of six months, within the Local Authority area, immediately prior to the application (please see further information below).
