That's different to where I live then, as you cant get bedrooms for kids in 2 diff households. Only the person who receives the child benefit and is classed as the main carer can apply for housing with enough bedrooms. You cant then be a weekend parent who says they ALSO need a 2/3 bedroom house, because the kids don't live with them permanently. There'd be no housing left!!
They can use discretion up North and “My 4 children have to travel 300 miles from London to stay with me” would pretty much guarantee he’d be allowed to stay in his 3 bedroom house in almost all circumstances. It’s not practical or feasible for them to have day only visits and visits are likely to be for a longer period due to the distance. If she lived round the corner, then they might be nagging him to move but I suspect they’d also be telling Georgia to let the kids stay with him and that she needed to apply for a smaller property!
Where he’d be on the priority list for a new one is more questionable.
