Sounds like a good plan.
The final worry then would be deposit. Normally the new tenant just transfers the one leaving £900 and they get there names swapped on the lease.
I feel like this is a slightly different situation? If I leave and they find a new tenant, whats to say they send me any money at all?

You tell everyone else what you are doing, they throw their toys out the pram, you compromise, you tell the LA that they need to agree a new contract with the remaining tenants + new tenant.
If the remaining tenants want to stay, they need to find a replacement. If you are nice, you will help them, but you can just wash your hands of it.
I'm not sure why the existing tenants are willing to accept the £400 charge for a new tenant - it should (just) be a case of arranging a new contract when the existing one expires, which the LA should want to do anyway because rolling contracts are a liability.
