Fareham Borough Council has launched a public consultation to give local residents the chance to help shape its Draft Allocations Policy for council-owned and managed housing.

The updated policy outlines who is eligible for affordable housing and how applications are prioritised — in line with the latest Government guidance. The Council is inviting residents to review the draft and provide feedback to ensure the policy is fair, transparent, and easy to understand.

The consultation is open now and runs until Friday 18 July 2025. Residents can view the draft policy and complete a short survey here:

Cllr Fred Birkett, Executive Member for Housing, said: Providing access to safe, affordable housing for those in need is one of the Council’s top priorities. This new Draft Allocations Policy reflects that commitment.

I encourage everyone with an interest in local housing to read the policy and share their views through the survey. Your input helps us make sure our approach is clear, fair, and meets the needs of the community.”
