All delegations are subject to consultation where considered appropriate in the circumstances (paragraph 4.3 (4(ii) – Part 3.39).

Decision Maker: Corporate Director (Operational Services)

Decision published: 13/12/2017

Effective from: 29/11/2017

Decision:

The decision is to waive the normal processes for allocating secure tenancies to enable the displaced tenants of Honeycroft to be granted a secure tenancy at a different address. In October tenants of the main building were asked to move out in response to a risk of legionella within the water system. All tenants were successfully relocated, mostly to other Council properties. Their tenancies currently remain at Honeycroft but some have expressed a desire to remain in the accommodation they were moved temporarily to. Housing Benefit can be claimed for up to 13 weeks where someone is absence from their normal address. From the week commencing 22 January, it will be necessary to end the Honeycroft tenancies to ensure that the tenants can continue to claim their benefit entitlement. This will apply equally to those that do not wish to remain in the accommodation in the longer term and those that do. It is proposed that those who do not wish to remain in the accommodation in the longer term will be granted a secure tenancy at their temporary address and a further secure tenancy at the address they eventually move to at an appropriate time in the future. Normal policy would require a tenant to make a housing register application and wait to be allocated alternative accommodation when it becomes available but in the circumstances this has not been possible and is not appropriate
