Local Connection
Some affordable homes in rural areas are built on rural exceptions to specifically meet the housing needs of local people and are therefore let differently than other affordable homes.  Applicants for such homes are required to have a local connection to the area and are assessed against a local connection cascade.  For further information about local connection follow the link below and scroll to the bottom of the page.
