Where there are more applicants for the places available within a category, then the distance between the Ordnance Survey address points for the school and the home measured in a straight line will be used as the final determining factor, nearer addresses having priority over more distant ones.  This address point is within the body of the property and usually located at its centre.  Where two addresses have the same distance, or, the cut-off point is for addresses within the same building then the local authority’s system of a random draw will determine which address(es) receive the offer(s).
