<p>The 1:200 limit generally applies to the whole of a dispersal area and has not
historically been applied to individual wards. Instead the Home Office works on an
individual basis with Local Authorities to address concerns around population clusters
in specific wards.</p><p>In addition the COMPASS Providers must consult Local Authorities
on all new properties procured for use on the COMPASS Contracts.</p><p>Where there
is clear evidence that properties are not suitable for use in the asylum dispersal
scheme, or evidence that a cluster in a specific ward is no longer sustainable then
the Home Office would take action to address this, including where necessary halting
procurement or dispersal.</p>
