B1 three bedroom house entitlement

The request was successful.

Dear Greenwich Borough Council,

I would like to request the following information from yourselves:
1) How many people are there currently on the waiting list with priority banding b1 with a registration date PRIOR to 29/01/2019 whom are entitled to a three bedroom house?
2) How many people are there currently on the waiting list with priority banding A whom are entitled to a three bedroom house?
3) Within the borough can you confirm at present how many three bedroom houses are currently vacant/being worked on and awaiting listing on CBL? This does not include any of the new “Greenwich builds”

Can I clarify that I am only requesting figures on the applicants whom are entitled to bid on three bedroom houses, NOT flats or maisonettes.
Yours faithfully,

Mrs Crouch

Our response is as follows:

 

1)      How many people are there currently on the waiting list with
priority banding b1 with a registration date PRIOR to 29/01/2019 whom are
entitled to a three bedroom house?

This is based on cases that have a live or suspended status, where the
registration date is prior to (but not including) 29/01/2019. It selects
cases where either the minimum or maximum bed need is equal to 3, and they
are eligible for a house. Most cases will also be eligible for flats and
maisonettes, but all can be considered for a house. This only includes
those with a Band B1.

Please see table below.

 

  Band B1
LIVE 31
SUSP 9
Total 40

 

2)    How many people are there currently on the waiting list with
priority banding A whom are entitled to a three bedroom house?

This is based on cases that have a live or suspended status. There is no
restriction on the registration date. It selects cases where either the
minimum or maximum bed need is equal to 3, and they are eligible for a
house. Most cases will also be eligible for flats and maisonettes, but all
can be considered for a house. This only includes those with a Band A.

Please see table below.

 

  Band A
LIVE 5
SUSP 6
Total 11

 

3)    Within the borough can you confirm at present how many three bedroom
houses are currently vacant/being worked on and awaiting listing on CBL?
This does not include any of the new “Greenwich builds”

This figure is a snap shot as at 13/10/2021        Total = 29
