    Appealing a decision

    Can I appeal a housing decision?

    If you are unhappy with a decision regarding your housing application to Hackney Council, you might be able to appeal the decision.
    You can appeal the following decisions:
    • About any decision made by the Council on the facts of your housing application
    • About a decision that you are ineligible to be considered for housing
    • If you disagree with our decision on your homelessness application

    There are other circumstances when Hackney Council will provide an appeal or review process within their policies

    • For statutory homeless cases, against a decision that an offer we have made is suitable
    • Any household may request an internal review of an offer at the time that an offer is refused
    • Against a grade or recommendation (where made) by our medical adviser
    • Against a decision to remove an “A” priority grade
    Hackney Council have an extensive complaints procedure and the full details are available from their website.
