Freedom of Information Request – Breakdown of Social Housing Allocations for 2-Bedroom Houses
Dear Southwark Borough Council,
I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 regarding the allocation of specific types of social housing within Southwark Council.
Specifically, I would like to request the following details:
1. The total number of 2-bedroom social housing houses with offered and let to residents during the period of 2022-2023 & 2023-2024.
2. If possible, please include a breakdown by area within Southwark, indicating the specific neighborhood or ward each property belonged to (e.g., Dulwich, Borough & Bankside, Peckham, Nunhead, etc.).
This information will help provide insight into the availability and distribution of social housing houses with gardens within the borough.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Kind regards,
Sarah Faye

Dear Ms. Murray,
Thank you for your response to my Freedom of Information request (reference number 32345269). I appreciate the detailed breakdown you provided regarding two-bedroom social housing properties offered and let to residents during 2022-2023 and 2023-2024.
However, I would like to clarify my original request. Specifically, I am seeking information on how many of the two-bedroom properties were houses (e.g., semi-detached, detached, and terraced houses), as opposed to flats, maisonettes, or other property types.
If possible, I would also appreciate a breakdown of these house types by area, as was done in your previous response.
Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,
Sarah Faye
