MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 15

QUESTION: Councillor B. Leech

"To ask the Chief Executive can it be established how the new tenants are to be chosen for the number of infills which have been undertaken at present, namely, Dromcarra, MacUilliam and St. Aidan's. Is it purely based on the various priority lists or can other criteria come into play such as an extra number of houses for particular areas that are sometimes taking on their third infill?"

REPLY:

"All properties are allocated in accordance with the Council's Allocations Scheme.  Applicants other than those on priority lists will be considered on ‘time on list’ basis.  The Council will also set aside a proportion of the dwellings available for the priority applicants and transfers.

In general, allocations in new developments including infills are made reflecting the percentage of applications made up of the various categories of applicants and transfer requests. In the case of infill developments, consideration will also be taken of the make up of the existing tenants in the wider area and existing support services available including schools, services for the elderly etc."
