In Summer 2024, EMH Homes are bringing 56 new homes to the Mansfield area on Victoria Street in Mansfield. Mansfield’s housing allocation scheme will remain the overarching policy against which allocations are made but the local letting plan below outlines how nominations will be made outside of the principal policy for the initial lettings to this new development. This is to ensure that a settled community is encouraged. This applies to all rented properties on this development for re-letting. EMH homes and Mansfield District Council are proposing a local lettings policy which reflects key features in order to ensure a sustainable, mixed, and balanced community on this development. In order to develop a sustainable mix of occupants
All homes will be advertised through the Council’s CBL system with the additional eligibility criteria as set out in this LLP clearly stated in the advert. Any local connection criteria will be applied in accordance with the Council’s Allocation Policy. In the event of insufficient bids from applicants who meet the above criteria following two consecutive advertising rounds, then lettings will be made under the normal allocations procedures under Mansfield’s allocation Policy.

In January 2024, 34 new 2 and 3 bed houses will be made available to applicants on the Housing Register. A Local Lettings Policy will be used for the first lets, this will ensure we maintain a balanced and sustainable community.
The following criteria will be applied
An applicant will not normally be considered if they or any other person included on their application

Ashfield DC is advertising new build council homes at Charlotte Gardens, Sutton in Ashfield. The site is located off Station Road.
A Local Lettings Policy has been agreed to ensure we have a good mix of new tenants and that we are contributing towards sustainable communities in the area. The main requirements of the Policy are below.
* Community contribution is defined as an applicant or household member who does voluntary work for at least ten hours per month in Sutton in Ashfield and has done so for at least six months continuously.
When advertising the properties we will normally include one advert for each property type, but there will be a number of properties that will be offered from the one shortlist.
If you are affected by the UK leaving the European Union (Brexit), you may need to apply for the EU Settlement Scheme.
You must secure your status otherwise you may be subject to immigration enforcement which may impact on your rights to live and work in the UK and to access services such as homelessness support and Council housing.
All EU citizens who wish to retain their rights to live and work in the UK will need to apply for the Settlement Scheme. Successful applicants will either get settled or pre-settled status depending on how long you have lived in the UK.
As part of the checks we conduct when an applicant joins the Housing Register, when they are made an offer of accommodation and if they seek assistance as homeless the Homefinder landlords will check to see if an applicant is eligible for help and to access the service.
The EU Settlement Scheme applications are now open. There is no fee for the Settlement Scheme application and the deadline for applying is 30th June 2021.
If you already have Indefinite Leave to Remain/Enter in the UK, you do NOT need to apply.
Ashfield and Mansfield District Council's will not be advertising vacant properties whilst the current restrictions are in place. It is also unlikely that any other housing provider will be advertising during this period.
New housing applications can be submitted and will be assessed as will any changes to existing housing applications.
Thank you for your understanding.
