The respondents’ preferred tenure type was further explored in a question asking them to rank their preferred tenure type from 1 – 5 (Figure 11). A similar pattern emerges with Local Authority and Group Housing Schemes making up the majority of the 1 st and 2 nd choices, with AHB (Approved Housing Body) Housing and Halting Sites also featuring in a smaller capacity. While most 1 st preferences were for Group Housing Schemes, Local Authority housing had the highest preference in the combined 1 st and 2 nd preferences. Preference for private rental and HAP/RAS Schemes was low. There is also considerable variation evident in the preferences depending on current accommodation type. The majority of the halting site residents’ 1st preferences were for Group Housing Schemes, whereas only 4% of the 1st preferences of residents in standard housing related to Group Housing Schemes. The majority of the latter group and those currently living in Group Housing Schemes opted for Local Authority Housing as their 1st preference.
