To publish the Local Lettings
Plan between Thanet District Council and Orbit.
Reasons for the decision

all bungalows owned by Orbit shall be allocated to applicants on
the Housing Register who are either over 50 years of age or have a
critical medical need, as identified by Thanet District Council and
placed into Band A of the Housing Register.

A Local Lettings Plan has been
implemented to ensure age-appropriate housing and to establish
