How to Appeal a Council Decision

To appeal a council's housing decision you must follow the review procedure of your council

You must ask for a review within 21 days of getting the council's decision or offer letter.

If you are unhappy with the decision you need to be clear as to why the decision is incorrect (Allocations policy). If your circumstances have changed since the decision then you will need to submit a new application. 

If your circumstances have changed since the decision then you do not need to submit a request for a review. Instead, you will need to submit a change of circumstances form if your application is still live or a new application if your application has been removed. The new information will then be reassessed and a new decision will be provided.
