Disproportionate burden assessment for disposal of small parcels of housing land policy

Scope

Publishing the policy ensures customers and staff are aware of our approach to the sale of small parcels of land held within the Housing Revenue Account.

Benefits of creating an accessible version

The benefits of creating a HTML version of this PDF would be:

  • A fully accessible version for all users to access
  • An easily searchable and indexable version

Burden placed on the organisation

It would take a disproportionate amount of a content designer's time to create an HTML version of this PDF.

Contributing factors

  • Interest in the document is likely to be limited to only those customers with an interest in purchasing small areas of land that are held within the Housing revenue account.
  • Should it be required an accessible version will be provided on request.
  • The existing policy is out of date and the new version is required to be published to support our actions in meeting the Regulator of Social Housing's Consumer Standards.

Assessment

Having considered the estimated effort involved in creating an accessible version along with the relatively low estimated demand, we have concluded that the work involved would be an inappropriate use of staff time. This represents a disproportionate burden on the organisation.
