The Council will offer accommodation to those people at the very top of the housing register. There will be some lettings that fall outside of the normal pointing scheme. Examples of these are:

• Nominations to the Council from local housing association partners who provide temporary accommodation for homeless households;
• Nominations to the Council from Essex Women's Refuge Mobility Scheme;
• Nominations received from the Agricultural Dwellings House Advisory Committee;
• Nominations from Affordable Rural Housing Schemes;
• Management transfers;
• Applications under the Council's Transfer Under-Occupation Scheme.

If the above nominations or applications are approved, they will be awarded a Category B status and will be considered on waiting time only.
