You will be sent a letter within 10 working days of the Council receiving your form, telling you whether your application to join the Housing Register has been accepted. If you are advised that you cannot join the Register you will be told the reason why not and also about your right to ask for a review of the decision. Eligible applicants will be issued with a registration card with a reference number, which should be used in future correspondence. In some circumstances, we may need to send you some other forms so that your application can be fully assessed. We will also advise you of your initial priority for housing and, depending on this, we may also tell you that someone will come and visit you to inspect your present home and assess your application.
