To reflect the Mayor of London's Homes for Londoners programme, priority will be given to British Armed Forces Personnel (serving military personnel and former members of the British Armed Forces discharged in the last 2 years).
Additionally, for the first eight weeks following full market release of the development, priority will be given to applicants from the following groups, in priority order:
- Council or Housing Association tenants meeting the London Living Rent eligibility criteria living in the development host borough
- Applicants meeting the London Living Rent criteria living in the development host borough

Where there are multiple customers looking to rent a home who meet the above criteria, priority will be given in the first instance to British Armed Forces Personnel, and then on a first come, first served basis. Eight weeks after full market release we may accept applications for any homes that remain available from those living outside of the development host borough.
