Housing register waiting times

This data is for the year 2024/25 and is therefore categorised with our previous Housing Register bands.

The new Priority Bands came into operation in March 2025, and are detailed in the councils Housing Register policies for Broadland and South Norfolk.

There is insufficient data available under the new policy to be able provide any meaningful information, this will be reviewed and updated at the end of 2025/26.

What are the local lettings policy properties?

Many of the housing associations are developers of new affordable rented homes. These are allocated to applicants on the Councils’ housing registers in the same way as other homes that become available for letting.

However, new homes built in rural areas may have extra rules that affect the priority of applicants. These rules are due to planning restrictions that ensure highest priority is given to people with a stronger local connection to the area (village or parish) where the homes have been built.

The details may vary, depending on the council area, but most give priority to applicants who live or work (or previously lived or worked) in the area.

These properties are identified within the adverts as priority given to residents of that parish.
