Intermediate Housing Policy Statement 2025

The Intermediate Housing Marketing Statement sets out our position regarding the delivery and allocation of intermediate housing in the Borough. This includes how we prioritise applicants, the eligibility criteria for those applying for intermediate housing including maximum household income, how to find new schemes in the borough and the application process. The Policy Statement also includes a detailed marketing strategy, which provides direction to Registered Providers on how they market intermediate housing schemes and re-sale units in the Borough, to ensure residents and those working in the Borough are aware of intermediate home opportunities in Richmond and are prioritised as part of the marketing.
