Dear Jo,

Reference No: 15751730

Thank you for your request for information held by London Borough of

Lewisham. I have included below a copy of your request, followed by the
Council’s response.

1) Can I know please know for each social and council let you have made in
the last 12 months :

A) The number of bedrooms of the property? (with studios/bedsits labelled
as 0, and 1 bed flats as 1 etc.)

B) The priority band of the successful household (eg. Band 1, Band 2) on
the housing register?

C) The number of years the household had been in their current priority
band for?

D) Whether the property had any preferences for certain households (eg.
LBL Homeless, Homeless Prevention, Overcrowded)

E) If it is a choice-based letting or a direct offer?

F) Who the landlord of the property is (eg. Lewisham, Housing
Association)?

G) Is it sheltered (including over 55 only) or general needs housing?

H) The date, or month, that the let was made?

The information would ideally be provided in an excel table with a column
for each of the questions above and a row for each letting made.

Please find requested information attached. For part B) the bands are
based on current housing register band criteria. For part C) the years
have been rounded to the nearest whole number. 

2) Please can I be told the exact dates that the data provided covers (eg.
01.10.2021 to 01.10.2022)?

Lets made from 01.11.2021 to 31.10.2022
